“…Regarding the inclusion category, recognising the diversity among OA is key, as highlighted in previous studies (53,54). Our review suggests that in addition to tailoring interventions for OA based on their interests and skills, empowering them to adapt the intervention to their own competencies and needs is bene cial for inclusivity.…”

Background: While community-level interventions for promoting active ageing have received growing attention and there is a trend to leverage technology to support traditional physical or social interventions, little hands-on guidance exists for designing these interventions. Methods: The literature review focused on community-level interventions promoting active ageing that integrated physical, social, and digital elements, referred to as integral interventions. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. In addition, as Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles have been widely applied for co-designing with the community on interventions that address complex health and social problems, the included interventions were analysedabductively based on the CBPR principles. Results:Twenty-four design considerations were generated under eight categories. Further reflection identified the interrelated nature of these design considerations and pinpointed the gaps in current research. The study highlights the urgency and importance of sharing recruitment methods and resource allocation details, recording and reporting collaboration specifics, clarifying stakeholder representation, fostering co-learning between communities, adopting an incremental approach, promoting inclusivity, and disseminating findings to stakeholders beyond academia. Conclusions: This study offers valuable insights and practical guidance to researchers and practitioners engaged in developing community-level integral interventions for active ageing. The findings also serve as a starting point for accumulating knowledge and practice in co-designing integral interventions for active ageing at the community level. The next crucial phase involves evaluating these design considerations within a real-world case to assess their applicability and identify potential areas for improvement.

“…This work has four limitations. First, given the difficulties in codesigning with older adults [71], we facilitated some activities and discussions in our workshops. For example, in our design Workshop II, facilitators assisted older adults in using generative AI, e.g., rephrasing and typing their inputs, which may obscure some of the difficulties that older adults may actually encounter when they interact with the digital prototype [18].…”

Music-based reminiscence has the potential to positively impact the psychological well-being of older adults. However, the aging process and physiological changes, such as memory decline and limited verbal communication, may impede the ability of older adults to recall their memories and life experiences. Given the advanced capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as generated conversations and images, and their potential to facilitate the reminiscing process, this study aims to explore the design of generative AI to support music-based reminiscence in older adults. This study follows a user-centered design approach incorporating various stages, including detailed interviews with two social workers and two design workshops (involving ten older adults). Our work contributes to an in-depth understanding of older adults' attitudes toward utilizing generative AI for supporting music-based reminiscence and identifies concrete design considerations for the future design of generative AI to enhance the reminiscence experience of older adults.

“…In addition, opportunity to innovate can be harnessed and driven through approaches of collaboration, co-creation, universal design and speculative design in order to optimise physical and digital spaces and experiences for all (Marston et al, 2020). Co-Design methods offer rich, democratised and collaborative outputs that are realised through the creative activity, conversations & interactions (Sanders & Stappers, 2008;Shore et al, 2018;Sakaguchi-Tang et al, 2021). Initial Discussions began in March 2021 between the PI at Edinburgh Napier University and the lead contact at 'Tap into IT'.…”

The Ageing experience and increased longevity presents innovation opportunity for emergent technology, e.g., mobile and wearable. In turn, these technologies can enhance quality of life and independence as we age; however, they can also increase social inequalities and exclusion. The Covid-19 pandemic affected how we interact, communicate engage and interact with people and also technologies. Peopleacross the generations were impacted and disrupted, motivating new behaviours in how they conducted everyday tasks and activities. Co-Design approaches have previously revealed successful collaborations between older adults, students, researchers, designers and other disciplines as a means to define unmet needs. Edinburgh Napier University provided funding to the PI (Principal Investigator) as a means to mobilise a 'Creative Cross-Education Team' (CCET) consisting of undergraduate students, research assistants (post-graduate researchers) and other staff colleagues of the University. The CCET worked with members from 'Tap into IT' (a local charity based in Edinburgh with a remit and focus on enhancing and enabling digital technology access for older adults). Two Co-Design workshops were conducted online titled 'Express' & 'Create.' The aim of these workshops was to explore, identify and define unmet needs/gaps expressed by older adult participants as a catalyst to create and generate future conceptual technology opportunities. The workshops were framed around Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). The team were broken into groups whereby they were encouraged to collectively collaborate, Express and Create with the participants. This multi-generational and transdisciplinary approach created a democratized outlook where each contributor added value through expression, commentary and creativity. The findings have generated themes which are the basis for new opportunity through education and research with a focus on future technology opportunities.
