Toward digital inclusion of older adults in e-health: a case study on support for physical activity

SDGs Impacted

Older adults are a heterogeneous population for which many e-health innovations are inaccessible. This study explores how involving older adults in user-centered design (UCD) with a specific focus on inclusive design is important to make e-health more accessible to this user group.

Impact / Outcome
The evaluation showed that the users had a positive experience of the prototype and could use it with some help. The study demonstrated that adopting e-health to assure digital inclusion among older adults must address several aspects.
