An integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach is used in which different stakeholders (e.g end-users, researchers) collaborate in the development, use and evaluation of technology to support shared decision-making regarding ageing at home. Shared decision-making is a cornerstone for person-centred care and holds the potential to promote person participation in decisions. Technology have the potential to enhance older peoples’ involvement in shared decision-making processes, and this project will result in deeper understanding of facilitators and barriers of technologies for improving self-management and supporting quality housing decisions.
Core principles:
o Multiple-case, comparative, mixed-methods approach to explore older peoples’ use of space in their homes and neighborhoods
o An iterative approach with end-user feedback and end-user consultation to tailor technology to their needs
o Triangulation of data to consider differences between healthcare systems, geography and regulations
Coordinate activity phases:
o Assessing Global Positioning System (GPS)-reported and self-reported mobility of older people with frail health living at home: GPS-trackers are used to collect spatial data. Travel diaries are used to collect self-recorded mobility for comparison with GPS-assessed mobility, and additional information. Walking interviews are used to get insight into older peoples’ movements in the neighborhoods, and to discuss mobility practices in relation to self-reported well-being.
o Co-designing an enhanced version of a health- and activity platform: Based on
data from the first phase, collaboration with end-users in creating a platform that could
be used to inform shared decision-making about housing options for older people.
o Compare data: Synthesise information from the previous phases, and assess
differences and similarities between rural and urban areas, and across jurisdictions in
Canada, the Netherlands and Sweden.
