Research questions for an ethic-of-empowerment
What methodology can be used to develop products and services which:
help facilitate a more active role in health care and rehabilitation
sustain autonomous living enable older people to become fully active
participants in healthcare and rehabilitation programs
All in cooperation with relevant organisations.

Findings from the old persons’ perspective
• Safety and freedom of mobility was the most important need.
• They learned more about their own health• The system was motivational in being
active• The communication and interaction with
PT and GP was more easy
![Page 11: An ethic-of-empowerment: e-health and healthy ageing Anita Melander Wikman, PhD, Ass.professor Luleå University of Technology](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db35503460f94aa3fc7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The design process was collaborative with space, voice and participation
Motivational factors:
• The older persons had an interest to better understand the technologies of today and tomorrow
• They wanted to contribute as best they could for the god of older people in general.

Participatory and Appreciative Reflection and Action
Understand• …..the best of what is
Imagine•…..what can be
Create• …what will be
PAAR's- 3 goals

FormIT - Three design cycles
• Exploring needs and identifying dreams and visions together with older persons
• Concept and prototype design• Assessment of the system in use and
evaluation of the whole process

Reflective Participatory Design (RPD)
• The older participants were real participants in almost all work-packages (not management)
• Participants in application writing• Access to information via e-mail• Needfinding – conceptbuilding – system
requirements - prototyp testing
![Page 17: An ethic-of-empowerment: e-health and healthy ageing Anita Melander Wikman, PhD, Ass.professor Luleå University of Technology](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db35503460f94aa3fc7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusion
• ‘Opening up’, ‘widening’, or ‘broadening’ opportunities for elderly people to authentically engage in decisions about their health and care.
• Sometimes space for manoeuvre are limited by project deadlines and budgetary controls.
• An image of people coming together, to discuss, plan, question, reflect and make decisions is important
![Page 18: An ethic-of-empowerment: e-health and healthy ageing Anita Melander Wikman, PhD, Ass.professor Luleå University of Technology](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db35503460f94aa3fc7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Participation
• The intention is to go beyond the practice of consultation
• Participation is to be more than the taking up of invitations to ‘be involved’
• Participation has to be learned, especially when (or if) those involved are used to being excluded.

CREATING ETHICAL SPACES FOR OLDER PEOPLE
• Explaining the ‘rules of the game’• Positioning older people in project design
forums • Agreeing relationships and responsibilities• Physical space – where to meet• The power of the words we use
