Unearthing the Family Gems: Design Requirements for a Digital Reminiscing System for Older Adults

摘要

This paper presents preliminary findings from a study investigating the reminiscing habits of older adults. We first define the concept of reminiscence, including aspects such as how, when and why it takes place. Then we present our findings from an interview study with older adults, where they reflect on their own habits related to reminiscing, and consider these reflections with respect to software that might support digital reminiscing. Finally we summarize our plan for future work.
