Abstract

[As people age, many of them experience decline in both health and function, which can negatively impact their use of and interaction with user interfaces. Four of the most widely accepted strategies for the design of user interfaces for an aging population and individuals with functional limitations were analyzed as part of this project: universal design (UD), design for aging (DfA), universal usability (UU), and guidelines for handheld mobile device interface design (MID). Analysis of the guidelines suggested that none of the four strategies alone were sufficiently comprehensive and inclusive enough to meet the range and diversity of usability needs of older adults within the environment of mobile touch screen interfaces. Based on the four strategies, a set of integrative guidelines, universal design mobile interface guidelines (UDMIG), were proposed to ensure usability of mobile eHealth devices by older adults. This chapter reports the continued development, refinement, and extension of the first version of the guidelines into UDMIG v.2.0, a more robust and inclusive set of design guidelines.]
