ABSTRACT
Our study investigated how to design a user-friendly tablet-application to support nursing home residents in assessing their quality of life, by completing a questionnaire. A user-centred design research study was conducted together with 27 residents, six healthcare professionals, 148 master students and five researchers. The design space was explored by 22 designs, which were evaluated by means of a thematic analysis. The outcome resulted in first tentative considerations for developers of tablet-applications for nursing home residents.
