Older people are largely excluded from the use of new information and communication technology (IT), a fact which contributes to the tendency for them to become socially isolated and under-stimulated TO understand any group of users, the design team needs to get to know them. Spending time with older people, especially observing and participating in their normal social activities, provides many clues on which to base design decisions. Older people with memory problems often cannot learn new skills, or at least cannot retain them. However, longstanding knowledge remains. For this reason, a design based around an interaction metaphor from earlier technology can prove effective. We briefly introduce the MAMA (Mobile Augmented Memory Aid) project, and describe the hardware and software prototypes that have resulted so tar. We go on to present Five design principles developed during the project, as a general approach to designing technology for older users. We indicate future work and how our approach can be applied more generally in the area of eInclusion.
