Abstract:Being familiar with all the benefits of e-Health and the strategic plan for the Slovenian health sector's informatization, Telekom Slovenia and the Faculty of Medicine from the University of Maribor, along with other partners, have initiated an e-Health project. The project group is developing various e-Health services that are based on modern ICT (information and communications technology) solutions and will be available on several screens. In order to meet the users' needs and expectations and, consequently, achieve the high acceptance of e-Health services, the user-centered design (UCD) approach was employed in the e-Health project. However, during the research it was found that conventional UCD methods are not completely appropriate for older adults: the target population of the e-Health services. That is why the selected UCD methods were modified and adapted for older adults. The modified UCD methods used in the research study are presented in this paper. Using the results of the adapted UCD methods, a prototype for a service named MedReminder was developed. The prototype was evaluated by a group of 12 study participants. The study participants evaluated the MedReminder service as acceptable with a good potential for a high adoption rate among its target population, i.e., older adults.

“…Interactive television (ITV) has often being used to support applications for older users, because it has the advantage of looking like a familiar device [37], thereby overcoming older adults' possible reluctance to approach new devices [40]. ITV allows users to alter some aspects of the TV content by selecting the shows to watch out of a virtual carousel of shows transmitted in a continuous loop.…”

“…It can also allow users to obtain individually requested data and services that differ from the main program [6] [17]: viewers can overlay content or intervene in the program by means of phone calls, SMS, or, recently, social networks [19]. ITV-based applications can remind older users to take their medicines and contact caregivers (e.g., [23] [37]); they can foster social interaction (e.g., [1]) or sustain cognitive skills to prevent common aging diseases such as mild cognitive impairment (e.g., [3]). Involving the target types of older users (e.g., users with normal aging issues, users with mild cognitive impairments, isolated users, etc.)…”

Because of their specific aging-related needs, older users should be involved when it comes to designing and evaluating devices that target them. While emphasis is usually put only on the accessibility of the final interface to this population, the participatory design and evaluation methods should also be adapted to their needs. This paper aims to contribute to the literature of human-computer interaction for older users by showing-in the context of the development and evaluation of an actual prototype, an interactive television (ITV) for senior citizens within the SeniorChannel project-how design and evaluation methods can be adapted to older users. The paper first describes the strategies that have been reported in human-computer interaction literature to involve older adults in design (i.e., visual prompts, warm-ups, experiencing, hands-on, and natural tasks). It then illustrates the way in which such strategies were implemented in the design and evaluation of SeniorChannel applications (i.e., illustrated material, video clips, tutorials, peer sessions, cards, natural tasks). Finally, the results of the final users' evaluation of the prototypes are reported.

“…A preocupação com a interface gráfica, considerando que o público-alvo seria a população de 3ª idade, além da garantia de recebimento e leitura da notificação enviada pelo administrador (médico) é semelhante às funções do Applet de Mensagens do HHS Sticker. No entanto, o projeto [Stojmenova, 2013] apresenta problemas relativos à dificuldade em inserir lembretes usando o controle remoto, pela quantidade de informação necessária durante a criação. No HHS Sticker os lembretes são sempre enviados pelo médico, monitor ou pelo sistema de Plano de Cuidados e não pelo paciente.…”
