| description | The basis of this study was the ageing of the population all over the world. The study concentrated on finding out the key service needs of elderly people. The service needs from the end users' as well as the experts' perspective were gathered by means of various group methods such ideation sessions. Four mobile communication service concepts were created using these groups' opinions. After diverse communication, these concepts were tested by the elderly. The research methods comprised a user study and a concept study. Based on the results, the needs could be prioritised. Additionally, the main trend of the results confirmed the opinions presented in the literature. One important finding was the positive opinions about additional value of wireless devices and services. This knowledge can be used in mobile communication product development. Most of the elderly are ready to accept new forms of mobile communication service. Ease of use and actual need of the services are important criteria. The elderly are ready to begin using the services as long as they truly facilitate independent living. |
