Abstract
VTT human-centred design groups use scenarios commonly as
a design tool in selected application areas. Our
human-centred design process addresses strong Design for
All (DfA) approach which means that we usually have also
elderly groups as potential users in the product
development process. Based on our recent experiences on
projects (e.g. Nomadic Media and Mimosa) concerning
future applications of technologically enhanced everyday
life of elderly people we present a scenario based design
model focusing on elderly citizens. Our scenario based
design model aims to give a digestible description of and
guidelines on how to use scenarios in different phases of
the product development process when co-designing with
elderly participants.
