“…As Leong and Johnston (2016) describe, their idea of developing a companion robot was not in their mind before they engaged older adults. Several other studies also emphasize that the suggestions put forward by older adults led them to contemplate new possibilities for improvements (e.g., Amos & Lawson, 2017 ; Coelho, Rito, Luz, & Duarte, 2015 ; Teixeria et al, 2017 ).…”

The Importance of User Involvement: A Systematic Review of Involving Older Users in Technology Design

Background and Objectives There is a lack of understanding of how older adults’ involvement and participation matters in actual design practice. This systematic literature review investigates existing empirical studies involving older users during the design of technologies and explores the nature and consequences of involving older people. Research Design and Methods Our literature review is informed by the guidelines of the PRISMA statement. We examined the included studies by means of thematic content analysis to identify the nature of older users’ involvement and existing evidence on what consequences it has. Results In total, 40 empirical studies published in the period 2014–2018 are included in the review. Most empirical studies involve older people from local networks, with underlying stereotypical images and at lower levels of participation. The results reveal three main consequences of involving older users: learning, adjusted design, and an increased sense of participation. Furthermore, we found that user involvement is a structured process whose outcomes are contingent on a range of premises. Discussion and Implications Synthesizing the results, we develop the concept of user involvement and present an analytical framework. Our results have implications for researchers and policy makers, since they throw into question the widely held assumption that involving older people inevitably yields beneficial outcomes.

“…In response, researchers have devoted substantial effort to developing design recommendations for increasing their accessibility for older adults. These studies offer guidance for improving social media interfaces to be more inclusive of older adults' characteristics, preferences, and communication needs, including how different platforms, such as touch screens [34], tablets and TVs [11], can help to improve accessibility and how enhanced security and privacy features [9] can help to facilitate adoption. However, despite the breadth and depth of these efforts, the guidelines and design recommendations proposed to date have not yet translated into improved offerings in the marketplace.…”

Social networking site (SNS) inaccessibility remains a barrier for many older adults. Increasingly, research has sought to address these shortcomings with recommendations for design. However, commercial uptake of these findings remains limited, in part, due to the scattering of recommendations across publications, heterogeneity in the SNS systems and features examined, and a lack of sensitivity within the existing guidelines to the heterogeneity of the target demographic. To counter these challenges, we conducted a systematic review following a thematic synthesis approach of 25 empirical studies on SNS design recommendations for older adults. From these, we synthesized a cohesive set of ten distinct design recommendations. These include ensuring an easy-to-use interface, improving social connection features, ensuring personal privacy, and introducing customized features and personalized content. In synthesizing the results, particular care was taken to capture the ways in which population diversity moderates recommendations. The results of this review can serve as a resource for designers and practitioners working on inclusive SNS for older adults. They also highlight the need for additional research into understanding user diversity in relation to SNS accessibility.

“…Related research follows the same line of argumentation to introduce social network services to older adults via Smart TVs. These researchers argue that Smart TVs can facilitate the user acceptance of social network services, as 'normal' TVs are already familiar to this target group (Coelho, Rito, Luz, & Duarte, 2015). Informal caregivers' statements also revealed that an assistive robot was perceived as a replacement of their own human care, while a smart wheeled walker was regarded as a supplement for support.…”

Acknowledgements Curriculum Vitae 12 MEET CHARLES Meet Charles Charles is a retired tax advisor. Since his wife passed away last year, he has been living alone. Charles was always engaging in a lot of different activities together with his wife, but without his companion he simply lacks the motivation and energy to leave the house a lot. Except for his diabetes, Charles was always pretty healthy but since he stopped being active his physical health has deteriorated. His only daughter Anne lives an hour away from him. Anne is very concerned about Charles, as he has been withdrawn and depressed since her mom died. She also worries about his health and safety. Anne does her best to support Charles remotely and visits him as often as she can. However, she is often exhausted from juggling her different roles as a caring daughter, mother, wife and career woman with a full-time job.
