Abstract

Designing, implementing and testing novel systems for the elderly requires researchers from a wide range of research areas to cooperate and communicate. It is especially important that medical experts and system designers reach an agreement on a user definition, which is understood by all participants. In system design, the Persona method has proven its worth as a tool to communicate and clarify abstract user descriptions and their goals. In this paper, we tailor the Persona methodology to the Gerontechnology domain, by investigating the adaptations needed to model elderly target groups with Personas, and using a clustering algorithm to generate clusters on which the Personas are based.
