Design of Mobile Phones for Older Adults: An Empirical Analysis of Design Guidelines and Checklists for Feature Phones and Smartphones

Untitled

“…However, some researchers found these heuristic guidelines too general and additional heuristics were developed to cater to specific contexts. For instance, a list of heuristics for smartphone apps targeted toward older adults (Silva, Holden, & Jordan, 2015), heuristic evaluation on mobile interfaces (Gómez et al, 2014), smartphone usability heuristics (Inostroza, Rusu, Roncagliolo, Rusu, & Collazos, 2016), design guidelines and checklists for feature phones and smartphones (Petrovčič, Taipale, Rogelj, & Dolničar, 2018) represent some of context-specific evaluative tools.…”

“…We believe that mobile devices offer a unique opportunity to support older adults by, for example, providing access to citizen services to address the risks of social isolation and loneliness of older adults. Related work has been focussed on designing systems (fixed and mobile) that address the physical, cognitive and sensory needs of older adults [2,3,5] and on exploring HCI-related issues when designing applications for older adults (e.g. [4,5]).…”

“…Related work has been focussed on designing systems (fixed and mobile) that address the physical, cognitive and sensory needs of older adults [2,3,5] and on exploring HCI-related issues when designing applications for older adults (e.g. [4,5]). We have previously conducted a series of co-creation workshops with older adults in which we determined a set of broader design considerations and requirements for developing mobile applications and systems for this demographic [1].…”

Supporting Older Adults Using Privacy-Aware IoT Analytics

“…In particular, the portability, low-cost and controlled nature of most mobile platforms lend themselves to widespread adoption by the general public. As a result, there has been significant research into designing systems (fixed and mobile) that address the physical, cognitive and sensory needs of older adults [16,2,3]. However, to date the vast majority of this research has focused on HCI issues [16] e.g.…”
