Ensuring Inclusive Design in Digital Health Interventions for the Aging Population: Expert Perspectives

This qualitative study examines expert perspectives on inclusive digital health interventions for older adults. Interviews with eight professionals highlight how adoption of those interventions depends on usability, accessibility, trust, emotional acceptance, and structural support. The analysis underscores the need for participatory design and flexible, user-centered approaches that accommodate the diverse needs of aging populations. Findings inform the development of inclusive design heuristics, with further validation through user studies and expert review in progress.
