Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Rehabilitation
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Older adults experience high rates of fall-related injuries.
  • Insufficient engagement in traditional fall-prevention exercises is a recognized problem.
  • Exergames offer a potential solution for improving exercise adherence in older populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the methodology for the initial phase of the eBalance project.
  • To develop a collaborative partnership with potential users of fall-prevention exergames.
  • To establish conceptual underpinnings for user-centered exergame design.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative methodology inspired by ethnography.
  • Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection (PAAR) approach.
  • Inquiries inspired by Normalization Process Theory (NPT) within interactive workshops and between-workshop activities.
  • Data collection via audio recordings, photos, and written documentation.

Main Results:

  • A detailed description of the developed and applied methodology.
  • Demonstration of a user-driven design process for fall-prevention exergames.
  • Insights into establishing effective user-researcher partnerships.

Conclusions:

  • The described methodology is valuable for designing and developing care services and innovations for older persons.
  • User participation is a key focus for successful implementation of health technologies.
  • The eBalance project's approach can enhance engagement in fall-prevention exercises for older adults.
