Abstract. Mild Cognitive Impairment is characterized by a slight cognitive decline that minimally affects daily activities, potentially impacting the ability to drive, as driving involves cognitive skills. KSCAr+Drive, a specific tool, rapidly evaluates individuals with suspected neurocognitive impairment. Comprising various tests, it covers a wide range of cognitive abilities. This article prioritizes User-Centered Design as an essential element for the design, implementing the phases outlined in ISO 9241-210:2019 to develop a web application prototype aimed at determining a person’s cognitive suitability for driving.

Keywords: Web Application Prototype, User-Centered Design, Cognitive Skills, Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Abstract. This paper argues that, even if generative artificial intelligence, for example, ChatGPT, proved astonishing capabilities in generating texts, including scholarly-level answers at users’ prompts, it is not sufficient for replacing the need for reading and analysing at least some parts of the texts of novels. However, artificial intelligence can assist a reader or researcher in re-reading or reflecting about fragments in a complex novel. The paper presents the polyphonic perspective introduced by Mikhail Bakhtin, the polyphonic model and analysis method introduced by Stefan Trausan-Matu and a natural language processing-based method for supporting the analysis. For exemplification of the method, it is presented the assisted identification and an analysis of the most relevant polyphonic fragment in the novel “The Brothers Karamazov”, written by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
