A Usability Framework for the Design of Assistive Technology to Promote Aging in Place
Abstract
A usability framework is proposed for designing assistive technology that meets the needs of older adult users. The framework is comprised of both requirements and profile components. The requirements component focuses on requirements specification from the perspective of technology, utility, and usability. The profile component encapsulates user requirements in terms of personal characteristics, normal aging factors, chronic health conditions, and other user characteristics that need to be accounted for in the design of assistive technologies.
