Presentations

Embodied inclusion: re-materialising digital interaction for age-inclusive design

Stephanie Reynders, Kristof Vaes, Lukas Van Campenhout

University of Antwerp, Belgium

This paper examines the role of product design in digital age-inclusivity. As digitalisation accelerates, older adults face persistent exclusion. We argue that interaction-level tensions between the intangible nature of screen-based systems and embodied human perception contribute to this divide. We introduce the Embodied Inclusion Framework as a structured approach to enhancing physical accessibility, cognitive usability and somatic safety in digital interaction.

Designing for subjective well-being: a VDL canvas and insight cards for exploring positive user experiences

Hyunwook Nam, Chajoong Kim

UNIST, South Korea

This research describes a tool based on subjective well-being, value, and practical design. We present a Value-Driven Ladder Canvas and 78 Value Insight Cards to support SWB-oriented practice. Studies 1 and 2 focus on discovering insights based on the user's product experience and converting them into toolkits. Study 3 evaluates and verifies toolkits with SUS, UEQ, PANAS, etc. This research highlights the connection between Needs and positive experiences, providing actionable guidance. Our findings demonstrate that Canvas and Insight cards are designed to improve SWB sufficiently to be useful.

A review of web-based toolkits for health and care design and improvement: preliminary results

Tingting Wang¹, P. John Clarkson^1,2

¹Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands; ²University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

We reviewed 36 web-based toolkits supporting health and care design and improvement and identified five classification dimensions: novelty (novel or established tools), scope (specialised or generic), origin (research- or practice-based), motivation for use (risk reduction or benefit enhancement), and application level (individual or group use). We also identified five types of toolkit developers and seven end-user roles. Most toolkits were generic and practice-based, developed by commercial or academic actors, targeted at practitioners and leaders, and supported both individual and group use.

Computational design tools for occupational therapists: a framework for integrating assistive technology design, customization, and prescription

Leila Aflatoony¹, Siniša Kolarić²

¹Georgia Institute of Technology, United States of America; ²Vidiponta Research, United States of America

Providing effective assistive technologies is challenging due to misalignment with users’ needs, often leading to product abandonment. Occupational therapists play a key role in prescribing, adapting, and creating personalized ATs, yet technical and marketplace barriers complicate this work. Computational design tools can support OTs, yet no clear design guidelines currently exist. From four case studies, we identify six considerations: workflow integration, intuitive interfaces, real-time visualization, collaboration, customization, and safety, to guide OT-focused design tool development.
