Designing User Interfaces for Hemispatial Neglect

Hemispatial neglect, also known as unilateral / spatial / side neglect, is a neuropsychological condition causing a lack of awareness and attention to one side of the body. This may make the patient act oblivious to one side of space, such as reading only one side of text on a website. I could find no information on design or UX for hemispatial neglect, so the ideas in this post could be breaking new ground.
