Abstract
This paper explores how research teams in
Intel’s Digital Health Group are using ethnography to
identify ‘designable moments’—spaces, times, objects,
issues and practices which suggest opportunities for
appropriate interventions. It argues that technology innovation
should aim to incorporate the views, experiences
and practices of users from the start of the design process to
support independent living and develop culturally sensitive
enhancements that contribute towards wellbeing and a life
of quality for local older populations.
