NET4Age-Friendly - User centred design on Age-Friendly Environments

This report presents a summary of the existing knowledge and a critical assessment of practices in inclusive design of innovative solutions for the implementation of Smart Healthy Age-Friendly Environments (SHAFE), as well as recommendations for the future, in line with the objectives defined for the Working Group 3 of NET4Age-Friendly. In this document, the process of creation, development and mapping of a Matrix to synthesize existing knowledge and critically assess practices of inclusive design of innovative solutions for SHAFE is detailed. The Matrix was open to all WG1 members and gathered information on methods, definitions, examples of use, and initiatives that align with user-centred design principles of inclusion, accessibility, usability, and engagement.
