Abstract
The paper presents a study which aim was to understand
what kinds of quality attributes are valued by the aging
citizens in the usage of technical devices and services.
Thus the study focused on worth in the motivation of
individuals to purchase or use a specific product or
service. Instead of questioning what specific
technologies could offer for aging people, we wanted to
examine different sections of everyday life of ageing
persons and review them in the light of technology and
user needs and wants. A user study inquiry was carried
out where around 400 older citizens expressed their
subjective opinions about significant areas of their
life. The basic question in this investigation was in
which areas of life older people prefer and expect new
products and services to be developed. Logically, these
areas of life define on their part the contents of worth.
