Abstract

In the European project Mobile-Age co-creation processes of digital mobile services with older adults have been studied. In order to experience such co-creation, several mobile apps applying open data have been developed in a structured co-creation process with senior citizens. Scientific work comprises the evaluation of the co-creation process itself, methods of co-creation, the exploration of representations of city maps for older adults, and the technical development and service provision. As an example, the paper describes the co-creation of a demonstrator application of a city district guide for the district of Bremen-Hemelingen.
