Why is it important?
This study supports that involving end users in the design and mock-up development stage is welcomed by older people and allows their Needs and preferences concerning the fall detection device to be explored. Based on these findings, the development of a “need-driven” prototype is possible. As participants are doubtful regarding smartphone usage, careful training and support of community-dwelling older people during real field testing will be crucial.
