Abstract

User driven design in smart care homes means designing for different end users with different values. In an extended user-centered design and research model, the Value Sensitive Design methodology as well as elements of Technology Acceptance Models are incorporated. The stages of the design model are explained and illustrated with experience from two cases in health care, in which determinants of success can be identified in retrospective view. These determinants and elements of the design model are summarized in an advice for future designers, combined with appropriate methods.
