ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper consists of a co-design assistive technology to problem-solving capabilities and difficulties for people with disabilities of technology use through a value elicitation from person-user and interdisciplinary participants. Methods conducted semi-structured value-oriented interviews with five participants (medicine, design and engineering disciplines, a person-user with disability and a classmate friend) and an extended interview for a person-user from personal experience. Data were analyzed by conventional content analysis. As a result, assistive technology enhances a person-user with motor impairment disability capability with prototype orthosis to improve a professional activity. A value elicitation from prototype orthosis is designed by an interdisciplinary group with positive responses based on reactivating a non-dominant hand to complement the computer use. The conclusion presents how technology extends a biopsychosocial approach based on value-sensitive design, including value interdisciplinary sense-making.
