KEYWORDSco-design, user centered design, ageing in place, elderly, older adults 2 Abstract Background: Co-design in healthcare has become mainstream. Co-design with end-users can improve patient satisfaction, outcomes and reduce the cost of care. As populations age, there is a growing interest to involve the elderly in the co-design of health technology to maintain their well-being and independence. However, it is less clear if co-designed technology improves health and well-being outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate co-designed technology that supports elders to age in place.Methods: We conducted a systematic review to: i) investigate the health and well-being outcomes of co-designed technology for elders (≥ 60 years); ii) to identify co-design approaches and contexts where they are applied and; iii) to identify barriers and facilitators of the co-design process with elders. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Science Citation Index (Web of Science), Scopus, OpenGrey and Business Source Premiere databases using MeSH terms and key words. Results: We identified 14,649 articles of which 34 studies were included. Studies were from Europe (n=28), Australia (n=4), America (n=1) and Canada (n=1). Twenty of the 32 studies targeted older adults (≥ 60 years old) and 14 targeted specific medical conditions or elder-related issues. Technological solutions included robots, online applications and software, smart televisions, computer games for exercise, global positioning solutions, smart home systems and design of care pathways.Five studies reported health and well-being outcomes and were extracted. The health and well-being impact of co-designed technology was inconsistent. Co-design processes varied greatly and in their intensity of elder involvement. Common facilitators of and barriers to the co-design process included the building of relationships between stakeholders, stakeholder knowledge of problems and solutions, as well as expertise in the co-design methodology.Conclusions: The co-design approach was applied in the design of a diverse set of technologies. The effect of co-designed technology on health and well-being was rarely studied and it was difficult to ascertain its impact. Future co-design efforts need to address barriers unique to the elderly population. More evaluation of the impact of co-designed technologies' is needed and standardisation

“…The impact of misplacing objects on everyday life is reflected in how frequently people with dementia and their caregivers request aids designed to find lost items (Faucounaua et al, 2009;Lauriks et al, 2007). Recurring difficulty with misplacing objects may also lead to a strain or source of conflict between individuals with dementia and those who provide care for them (Lopes et al, 2016). Nevertheless, the symptom remains under-investigated; little is known about the everyday expression of misplacing objects in the lives of those with dementia and its association with dementia type and stage.…”

Objectives:Misplacing objects is often reported as a clinically important symptom in dementia. Here we explored misplacing objects in relation to dementia type and stage in an online sample of individuals with dementia and their caregivers.Methods:Participants were recruited from www.dementiaguide.com, a web-based tracker for common dementia symptoms. Users provided information about symptoms that they selected as important for monitoring. We analysed cross-sectional data from respondents who tracked at least three symptoms, which allowed for staging dementia severity.Results:Of 2,775 users with three-plus symptoms, 787 (28%) identified misplacing objects for symptom tracking. Misplacing objects was monitored by users across all stages of dementia, but was more prevalent in mild and severe dementia. Three common clinical subtypes of misplacing were investigated: lost & found (forgetting the location of items), hidden away (hiding items so others would not find them), and odd places (putting items in usual spots). Of the 787, 96% targeted lost & found, the most frequent type. Odd places (targeted in 56%) significantly increased with dementia severity (p < 0.001). Misplacing objects was most strongly associated with the symptoms of interaction with strangers (OR 4.60, 95% CI: 3.20-6.62), reading (3.68: 2.86-4.73), shopping (3.55: 2.73-4.61) and travel/vacationing (3.31: 2.54-4.31).Conclusions:Misplacing objects was most often selected for tracking in mild and severe stages of dementia. As disease advances, misplacing more often reflects odd placement of objects rather than their simple loss. Misplacing objects may be a clinically important therapeutic target for improving patients’ quality of life and lessening caregiver burden.

Talking about death and end-of-life care (EoLC) can be a sensitive topic for people affected by dementia and their families. However, recent research [1] has identified the need for people living with dementia (PLwD) to start planning timely discussions about their future care to help their family and professional carers to confidently make decisions on their behalf when they are no longer able to do so themselves [2]. This paper describes a five-stage iterative co-design approach aimed at understanding the type and nature of these sensitive discussions and developing a resource to support PLwD, their families and carers. The resource took the form of a Care Plan Guide app, as a tool to help initiate early discussions about anticipatory care planning [3] in dementia for PLwD to ensure good personalized care and that important wishes were honoured. The paper highlights the importance of the involvement and active collaboration of families living with the illness. It discusses lessons learned, reflections and recommendations for approaching co-designing healthcare digital resources for sensitive EoLC issues that may have wider applications than for PLwD alone.
