Abstract
In this paper, it will be related a part of a design doctoral research that concerns the choice of the typology of users to analyzed to design smart devices for elderly people with physical symptoms related to gait and movement. The author will also explore which are the most advantageous ways to extrapolate from users’ contributions their needs, that in User Centered Design are considered essential to elaborate the project requirements.
