Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1704-1705. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190606.

Abstract

Our work exhibits how previous projects on the Active and Healthy Ageing field have advanced to the conception of CAPTAIN, a radically new approach towards increased end-user acceptance. The goal is to create intuitive technology that does not require specific skills for interaction and blends in with real life. CAPTAIN will be co-designed by all types of stakeholders, including older adults, involved in all stages, from the initial design to delivery of the final system.

Keywords: Healthy Aging; Home Care Services; Needs Assessment.
