Transcript of Treffyn Koreshoff - Human Centric Design for Aged Care
• Support ageing well• Involve people in the design process• The IoT is repurposeable
• Really engage people in the design process
• Design doesn’t stop when you’ve built something.
Ageing well
Maintaining independence and agency by remaining physically active and healthy, socially engaged, and contributing actively to their families, social networks and communities.
Ageing well manifests differently because we’re all unique
So how do you build a device for everyone? You don’t.
People need to understand their capabilities so they can be repurposed.
Mutual learning
Imagine the future with the people who will actually be using the technology, don’t assume and prescribe.
Mutual learning
Develop a common understanding. People learn about the possibility of the technology. Designers learn about their life and how they might use the technology. Together you develop something useful
Mutual learning
Keep engaging even after you’ve built the object. Objects get finalised through use.
People and the IoT are always subject to change.
The IoT can be repurposed!
• can be really computer literate when they want to be
• don’t like ‘old people’ technology
• aren’t like the assumptions of ‘old’ people many designers have
• make tradeoffs about everything
• can envisage the IoT, just in different ways
