The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Digital Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Aging populations present evolving needs for health and well-being services.
  • eHealth (electronic health) services development must consider the interplay of technology, users, and context.
  • Identifying age-specific needs is crucial for effective eHealth interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the daily lives, health, and well-being of older adults.
  • To identify older adults' specific needs and preferences for eHealth services.
  • To develop evidence-based design recommendations for eHealth solutions tailored to older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interview study with 20 older adults (aged 55+).
  • Remote data collection using cultural probes (diaries, sentence completion) and semistructured interviews.
  • Data gathered in Finland (2020-2021) as part of the DigiIN project.

Main Results:

  • Home-based activities like exercising, sleeping, and cooking significantly contribute to well-being.
  • Older adults desire chat functions but express concerns about lack of human contact and usability.
  • Key preferences include flexibility, trial options, digital support, and relevant, empathetic content.

Conclusions:

  • eHealth services must accommodate the diverse needs of older adults, supporting flexible and safe health management across devices.
  • Adaptation to life changes through motivation, personalization, and appropriate functions is essential.
  • Older adults should retain the autonomy to opt-out of eHealth services.
