Electronic Assisted Living Technology: Interim Systematic Review Results - The Evidence for Creative Methodologies

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2017:242:216-223.

Abstract

Despite reported benefits of creative methodologies for the design and development of electronic Assisted Living Technologies (eALT), there exists a divide between design and health research, leaving health researchers wishing to pursue creative methods uninformed with regards choice of appropriate methods. This paper describes interim and emerging results from a systematic review which aimed to explore the value of creative methodologies for the design and development of eALT which may form part of the solution to the challenges of the ageing population.

Keywords: Assistive Technology; Electronic Assisted Living Technology; creative methods; older adult(s); systematic review.
