Digital technologies for inclusive healthy ageing
Digital technologies for inclusive healthy ageing
This chapter discusses how inclusive design has contributed to promoting healthy ageing, especially in a rapidly transforming digital world. Related theories about inclusive design, older people and their unique characteristics, digital transformation, digital divide, and smart design for healthy ageing are reviewed and discussed. We use three case studies to illustrate how inclusive design can benefit older people from retail design, healthcare design, and home design perspectives, which contribute to two of the UKRI-identified healthy ageing challenges, namely, ‘designing age-friendly homes’ and ‘managing common age-related complaints’. Future research will explore how inclusive design can be applied to promote healthy ageing from the other five healthy ageing challenge aspects.

Abstract
This chapter discusses how inclusive design has contributed to promoting healthy ageing, especially in a rapidly transforming digital world. Related theories about inclusive design, older people and their unique characteristics, digital transformation, digital divide, and smart design for healthy ageing are reviewed and discussed. We use three case studies to illustrate how inclusive design can benefit older people from retail design, healthcare design, and home design perspectives, which contribute to two of the UKRI-identified healthy ageing challenges, namely, ‘designing age-friendly homes’ and ‘managing common age-related complaints’. Future research will explore how inclusive design can be applied to promote healthy ageing from the other five healthy ageing challenge aspects.
