Overview of the Symposium Presentations The PRISM system was developed with the aim of maintaining the social connectivity and well-being of older adults. This symposium reports recent outcomes of a comprehensive research project on the development and evaluation of the PRISM system. The PRISM system was designed based on user-centered design principles, while using interdisciplinary collaboration that considered human factors and the opinions of psychologists and ICT engineers. The research team conducted intensive investigations related to user needs using surveys with and interviews of both project designers and potential users. The prototypes of the system as well as the related instructions were carefully tested with the help of potential users. The usefulness and usability of the system developed here was systematically evaluated by project designers using various methods with the help of a large number of potential users from diverse backgrounds. The project team has also developed a Computer Proficiency Questionnaire, a new measure of computer proficiency for appropriate evaluation of modern ICT such as PRISM. Overall, the research team has conducted the project systematically and comprehensively, while fully considering various human factors, resulting in successful system deployment. Perspectives Successful outcomes, reported in this symposium, illustrate the effectiveness of interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers, psychologists, and practitioners, as well as the advantages of a human-centered design approach. One of the significant points of the project was that the researchers have also focused on the affective aspects, such as whether the users enjoy using the system or their feelings of connectedness, as well as the functionality and usability of the ICT. This viewpoint should be considered as important in the development of technologies designed to increase the well-being of older adults1. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
