Abstract [sv]

Detta projekt undersöker social isolering och ensamhet bland äldre. Målet med projektet är att öka sällskapligheten bland äldre. Metoderna bygger på en användarcentrerad strategi och med kvalitativ forskning och kvantitativ data som genereras. Som en del av en interaktionsdesignstudie. Teorier om vad som har gjorts i fältet presenteras och relaterat arbete för att förstå fältet. Insikten från den empiriska studien definierar problem i designprocessen, från intervjuerna och undersökningen. I designprocessen presenteras såväl metoder som används för att skapa idéer som resultatet. Designprocessen presenterar nio koncept som en lösning på forskningsfrågan. Avslutningen och diskussionen presenterar nya idéer och tankar om hur projektet kan ha tagits i en annan designmetod och utforskning.

Abstract [en]

This project explores social isolation and loneliness among elders. The goal of the project is to increase sociability among elders. The methods are based on a user-centered approach and with qualitative research and quantitative data generated. As part of an interaction design study. Theories about what has been done in the field are presented and related work to get an understanding of the field. The insights gained from the empirical study define problems in the design process, from the interviews and survey. In the design process methods that are used to create ideas are presented as well as the result. The design process presents nine concepts as a solution to the research question. The conclusion and discussion present new ideas and thoughts on how the project might have been taken in a different design approach and exploration.
