人们高度期望物联网（IoT）有助于提高老年人的生活质量，特别是通过早期发现健康风险和支持生活。然而，大多数老年人对物联网技术并不友好，这是物联网技术在老年人生活中实施的障碍。在这项研究中，我们设计了一个基于卡片的老年人友好工作坊，帮助老年人对物联网友好和有信心。这些卡片由16张“触发卡”和14张“反馈卡”组成，内容涉及多个物联网设备。这反映了我们对物联网的解释，即物联网设备在“触发”发生时给出“反馈”。参与者被要求通过结合触发卡和反馈卡来提出物联网用例的想法。在三个工作坊中，共招募了22名65岁以上的老人，共获得了134个想法。我们揭示了基于每个用例的目的将这些想法分为九组。此外，调查结果显示，老年人通过在研讨会上提出想法，对物联网变得友好。在这项研究中，我们证实了精心设计的卡片和示例想法可以帮助参与者对物联网产生更多的想法和更高的信心。体验和想象物联网在他们个人需求中的使用将鼓励老年人使用物联网技术。
Internet of Things (IoT) is highly expected to contribute in making elderly people’s quality of life better, especially by detecting early health risks and supporting livings. However, most elderly people are not friendly to IoT technologies, which is a barrier to implement IoT technologies into the elderly people’ livings. In this study, we designed a card-based age-friendly workshop to help elderly people being friendly and having confidence with IoT. The cards composed of 16 “trigger cards” and 14 “feedback cards” about several IoT devices, which reflects our degraded but age-friendly explanation of IoT that IoT devices give a “feedback” when a “trigger” happens. The participants were asked to come up with ideas for use cases of IoT by combining a trigger card with a feedback card. Within three workshops, 22 people of 65 years of age or older were recruited, and 134 ideas were totally obtained. We revealed that the ideas were categorized into nine groups based on the purpose of each use case. Moreover, survey results indicated that the elderlies became friendly with IoT through coming up with ideas in the workshop. In this study, we confirmed that carefully designed cards and example ideas can help participants bring out more ideas and higher confidence in IoT. Experiencing and imaging about the use of IoT in their own personal needs will encourage elderlies to use IoT technologies.
