在已知老年人认知和身体衰退的背景下，一项议程旨在开发旨在支持他们日常生活的技术，使他们能够保持独立并在家中生活更长时间。然而，这些新技术的吸收相对较差，我们认为这部分是由于新技术与现有服务之间的整合不良。该项目的目的是开发一种技术解决方案，（i）支持独立生活，但（ii）与现有的老年人服务适当整合，（iii）符合个别老年人的个人愿望。为了理解所有三个方面，该项目正在利用迭代方法来创建和评估未来的场景。这些场景说明了技术在支持日常生活中的作用，而不是专注于技术设计。在生活质量伙伴关系和北方岩石基金会等用户倡导团体的投入以及纽卡斯尔市理事会等服务提供者的投入下，制定和完善了一套核心设想方案。然后，这些情景构成了一系列老年人焦点小组小组讨论的基础。这些讨论的结果是更好地了解了老年人的愿望，并对可能支持这些愿望的技术类别有了更严格的认识。
Against a background of known cognitive and physical decline in older adults is an agenda that aims to develop technologies that are intended to support their day-to-day life, allowing them to maintain their independence and live at home for longer. Yet uptake of such new technologies has been relatively poor and in part we see this as due to poor integration between the new technologies and existing services. The aim of this project is to develop a technology solution that (i) supports independent living but that is (ii) is properly integrated with existing services for older adults and (iii) fits the personal aspirations of individual older adults. To understand all three perspectives, the project is utilising an iterative approach to creating and evaluating future scenarios. These scenarios illustrate the role of technologies in supporting everyday living, rather than focus on the technological design. A core set of scenarios were developed and refined, with input from user advocacy groups, including Quality of Life Partnership and Northern Rock Foundation and input from service providers including Newcastle City Council. The scenarios then formed the basis for group discussion in a series of older-adult focus groups. The output from these discussions was a better understanding of the aspirations of older adults and a more critical sense of the classes of technologies that may support those aspirations.
