- In the last decades a large number and variety of prototyped and commercial IT solutions have been dedicated to older adults with the purpose to make their activities as meaningful and diverse as possible; and to establish the environment around them as comfortable as possible. However, in most cases the requirements for the tools are derived from user surveys or are just a result of some innovative ideas of researchers and practitioners. This might be one of the reasons why the spectrum of possible IT solutions is much larger than the spectrum of actually used solutions. In this paper we propose to view IT solu-tions that are developed for older adults in the context, which is represented as a socio-cyber-physical system. Enterprise modeling is proposed as a means for context representation and analysis.

- Different IT solutions exist for supporting older adults. However, the ways in which these solutions are positioned usually concern only specific activities or specific problems. In this paper we analyze the current research state regarding activities of older adults, the contexts of their activities, and supportive IT solutions to create a background for further investigations regarding alignment of IT solutions and daily routines of older adults. The paper presents illustrative mapping between older adult activities and IT solution categories and derives therefrom some aspects that are to be taken into account for successful alignment between IT solutions and daily routines of older adults.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 2019 WHO symposium on the future of digital health systems emphasized the importance of putting the individuals at the center of their own health and well-being. Consequently, strategies for active and healthy ageing should comply with older people’s needs and requirements. In this paper, we applied the value-focused thinking approach to investigate the values held by seniors in Latvia, Poland and Sweden in the context of implementation of ICT for active and healthy ageing. Based on interviews with seniors, thirteen value-based objectives were identified and compared with domains of Active Ageing Index (AAI), a country-level measure of healthy and active ageing. The main findings imply that ICT is an important means of attaining the higher level of the AAI. To this end, taking into consideration value-based objective sheld by seniors appears a necessary condition. Further, the results suggest that AAI index should be adjusted to the needs of seniors.
