Expectations for a co-designed virtual immersive program for older adults with dementia in long-term care: a qualitative study with residents, family, and staff

Our findings offer useful insights and practical tips through the recommendations IMAGINE in co-designing technology that is appropriately tailored to residents, staff, and family members in LTC. This study provides foundational knowledge for the co-design of VIPs by highlighting end-user expectations prior to implementation, an often-overlooked stage in technology development.

Abstract

Our findings offer useful insights and practical tips through the recommendations IMAGINE in co-designing technology that is appropriately tailored to residents, staff, and family members in LTC. This study provides foundational knowledge for the co-design of VIPs by highlighting end-user expectations prior to implementation, an often-overlooked stage in technology development.
