Inclusive design of wearable smart objects for older users: Design principles for combining technical constraints and human factors

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to propose an evaluation of integration principles between constraints resulting from the choice of technologies to be used on devices, and human needs deriving from the needs analysis of the elderly, in the field of wearable smart objects design for self-sufficient and non-self-sufficient users. The authors will describe this process according to the state of progress of HABITAT project.
