Abstract

The goal of this position paper is to provide a methodological framework for the development of healthcare information and communication technologies for elderly people. This methodological approach is based on three complementary areas: user centred design; variables in the e-healthcare acceptance by elderly people (social, cognitive and psychomotor aspects); and the methodologies that will allow us to gather critical knowledge about all these aspects. In order to gather information about all these aspects we need to use a multidisciplinary approach that will bring together observational studies about user requirements in real context; experimental methodologies that will gather the impact of psychomotor and cognitive aspects that are relevant to elderly people; and technology specialists that will provide input about ideal technological solutions for the needs of this specific group.
