Designing assistive and cooperative HCI for older adults' movement

Published: 26 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Demands for older adults' assistive and cooperative care systems are increasing, but so far most design interest has been in individuals' tools and separated public and private services or actors. We provide an initial design case with a safety navigation system designed to help those suffering from memory problems and thus may need real time assistance. With examples of its use in older adults' outdoor movement, this paper shows how it acts as a cooperative, human-computer interaction (HCI) system between public and private assistive actors. We thus propose to increase design and research efforts towards the integration of assistive technologies with collaborative HCI.
