User Centered Design of bionic and assistive devices is growing in importance as many technologies are now moving from lab concepts to certified medical products for use in daily life. The enthusiasm to develop new technologies often focuses on the scientific requirements but often very practical user requirements are over looked. This presentation discusses the role of user centered design in bionics development and how this relates to usability in use. The presentation frames the importance of usability and user centered design on technology acceptance, generally by users, but also with focus on technology acceptance and adoption by older age adults.
