- This paper aims to contribute to the participatory tradition in health informatics by presenting a model for reflective participatory design emerging from qualitative fieldwork in a participatory project aimed to improve the health and wellbeing of older people in the northern periphery regions of Europe, through new mobile services. The model brings together two established processes in novel ways: systems development and user participation. Within each process three concepts are presented to facilitate discussion and reflection at the concept level, the process level and the integrated process level.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on a case study of a living lab, this paper considers the process of participation during the design stages of a health care project for the elderly in Sweden. While participation has an established history, more recently it has been described as an "old, tired concept" that is in need of revitalization in order to cater for changing IS practices. In this paper, we reflect on how participation materializes in a context that is quite dissimilar from more traditional development settings and report on the kinds of practices that may be used to assist design with users

Developing mobile ICT for improved health, safety and well-being together with elderly people : experiences from the MyHealth@Age (2008-2010) project

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The population is ageing in most economically developed countries. For elderly persons, safety is seen as important. The fear of falling is an experience that has been reported by numerous studies. Falls present the most common cause of injury in old age. A "health ageing paradigm" is a comprehensive approach to prevent injuries from falling. Home-based and mobile monitoring technology is considered to assist elderly people in terms of keeping healthy and staying at home longer. The MyHealth@Age Project (2008-2010) involves partners from Northern Ireland, Norway and Sweden. It aims to provide mobile ICT products and services to promote a process of healthy ageing. Thirteen elderly persons, 63-80 years of age, are the research persons in the Swedish part. The project-methodology is participatory and collaborative. It draws upon FormIT, Participatory and Appreciative Action & Reflection research (PAAR) and Living Lab approaches. Three areas were identified; safety, prescribed healthcare and social networking. Safety and freedom of mobility were the most important identified needs. Much of the learning was accumulated with regard to the processes of empowerment. It is important to co-construct empowering research and development methodologies, products and services, which promote social participation of elderly persons in order to keep healthy, safe and to promote well-being

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- IntroductionThis paper uses data from My Health @ Age (2008-2010), an EU, Northern Periphery funded project. Its aim is to offer the rapidly ageing population in the northern periphery regions of Europe, improved health, safety and well-being through the use of new services and new mobile ICT products. The project methodology is informed by the values and processes of Participatory Design, Form-IT and appreciative action research. The project's aim and its approach raise a fundamental ethical question, namely, ' In what ways do ICT solutions for improving the quality of life for older people (over 65 years) in the northern periphery regions, have an ethical dimension?MethodsOur developing ethical awareness uses data from focus group meetings and storyboarding activities conducted with a group of 20 elderly persons, with/with out functional limitations, in Norrbotten, Sweden. Using conversational analysis, thematic elucidation, semiotic and iconographic analysis, we present our efforts to do the 'right thing' and the 'best thing' to enhance the well-being of elderly people.ResultsThis paper illustrates ethical conflicts and dilemmas associated with trying to balance user needs ( e.g. elderly people, health care professionals) with technological (product) design requirements and commercial or market opportunities. Four ethical themes have emerged which, collectively, form an etic-of-appreciation. They are the need to clearly demonstrate an;* Ethic of respect: Where the lived experiences of older people are actively listened to.*Ethic of empowerment: Where older people feel they have a voice in descisions about their well-being.* Ethic of critique: Where power differentials that often constrain and marginalise older adults, are confronted.* Ethic of concern: Where ICT solutions enable older people to feel dignified and treated with kindness.ConclusionICT and ethics need to be creatively synthesised into an ethic-of-appreciation. This is imperative for projects based on participatory design principles.ReferencesGhaye, T., Melander Wikman, A., Kisare, M., Chambers, P., Bergmark, U., Kostenius, C. and Lillyman, S.

Project: Early signs of mobility limitations and fall events in old age: long-term consequences and tailored preventive interventions through interactive media
- 2012
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The aims of this project are 1) to investigate the consequences over five years of early signs of mobility limitations expressed as fallevents, a changed walking pattern with a cognitive load (dual-task costs), and decreased balance confidence on severe fall-relatedinjuries, perceived health, participation, activities of daily living, and gait performance, and 2) to develop, together with older people,and evaluate tailored fall-prevention through interactive media in a randomized controlled trial with two arms.

Project: MyHealth@Age
- 2013

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- MyHealth@Age projektet utvecklade tjänster och produkter som aktivt involverar äldre personer i deras egen vård- och omsorg för att de ska få bättre hälsa, trygghet och välbefinnande. Målsättningen var att de äldre ska förbli så friska och välmående att de klarar sig själva 3-5 år längre än vad som annars vore fallet. På så sätt ökas de äldres livskvalitet samtidigt som vård- och omsorgsorganisationerna ges bättre verksamhetsförutsättningar. I nära samverkan med äldre slutanvändare, vård- och omsorgspersonal, leverantörer och forskare utvecklades produkter och tjänster för mobilt trygghetslarm, ordinerad egenvård samt social samverkan. Syftet var att de nya produkterna och tjänsterna ska bli viktiga för medverkande aktörers konkurrenskraft, tillväxtmöjligheter (företag) och verksamhetsförutsättningar (organisationer).De vård- och omsorgsorganisationer som involverades i det svenska fältprovet var Luleå och Bodens kommun samt Norrbottens läns landsting. Projektet genomfördes januari 2008-december 2010. Fältprov genomfördes september 2009 – november 2010 i Boden/Luleå, Tromsö och Belfast för utvärdering och vidareutveckling av tjänsterna och produkterna. Fältproven involverade 15-tal äldre slutanvändare per land samt berörd primärvård- och kommunal omsorgspersonal. Totalt var 15 organisationer och företag engagerade i projektet. MyHealth@Age projektet finansierades av EU programmet Norra Periferin.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As demographic ageing impacts across the world, health and welfare organisations are seeking new paradigms of care that address people's needs as well as being inherently more scalable than the incumbent processes and services. The aim of this paper is to describe the current situation in Europe with information on service provision, before signposting some possible new ways to develop sustainable business models that support care models. The paper uses a case study approach to examine the issues in the introduction of such business models, from a perspective of the translation of research proof of concepts into business services and from the perspective of developing innovations from research that address unmet or poorly considered needs of user. The paper shows how several innovative European projects are anticipating the need for service change and are designing their research outcomes to match the needs of service commissioners more fully. The conclusion discusses several different approaches before drawing together strands of the work and providing tentative recommendations on the way forward to develop new inclusive technology-enhanced services in health and social care.
