- Published at ACM SIGCHI, the most prestigious conference in HCI. The work describes part of an extensive multi-disciplinary £1.5 million cross-council research grant (MRC, EPSRC Grant ID: G0900583) which examined the use of assistive technology for rehabilitation in the lab and the home. The paper presented the first long term field study of a rehabilitation system for falls which had used Participatory Design to fully involve the older adults at all stages, who were undergoing rehabilitation. Outcomes included guidance on how to design rehabilitation games technology for older adults that would encourage long term adherence e.g. over 3 months.
