Abstract: In the last decade user-centered and participatory design have become central approaches for the design of technology in the context of ageing well. They promise a better fit of system requirements to user needs and, eventually, a higher user acceptance of the end-product. In Germany funding programs explicitly ask for the integration of users and user studies in real life contexts. They also started to fund accompanying research on how technical projects implement user-centered methods. Given our own experience and research on user-centered design from both an inside perspective as designers and developers as well as an outside perspective as ethnographic researchers, we examine the current practice of user integration critically in this paper and provide a list of crucial aspects including reflexivity, reciprocity, and empowerment that should be the focus of the research on user-centered approaches for ICT design in healthcare in the coming years.
