Understanding Elderly Needs for Designing a Digitally Extended Environment via Tablets

In this short communication we describe our methodological framework for developing an extended digital environment for the elderly. The core of our approach is based on probing elderly needs via storytelling to be interpreted in a wide sense. The probe consists of activities to be carried out by the experiment group, such as taking pictures, making a collage, writing a diary. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
