Abstract:
A user-centred design methodology to elicit, capture and consolidate
user requirements for rehabilitation/ assistive technology for
disabled and elderly people has been developed by the TIDE SCALP
(1002) and CASA (1068) projects.
The data collection strategy involves two broad activities,
a state of the art review (i.e. network analysis of key organisations
and actors, literature review) and fieldwork (direct interviews,
Focus Groups / User Groups and observational studies). The TIDE
SCALP and CASA projects have developed and tested a methodology,
as used in the TIDE ASHoRED project, to elicit, capture and
consolidate user requirements for disabled and elderly people.
