To better understand how older adults use health visualizations and the potential barriers that impact utility, we conducted semistructured interviews with 21 older adults. Within these sessions, we presented participants with two interactive visualizations for exploration. Through an affinity mapping exercise, we extracted five key themes associated with how older adults utilize health visualizations and provide corresponding recommendations as points of consideration for designers developing older adult focused health visualizations. By examining how older adults perceive the utility of health visualizations, we lay the groundwork for design choices that impact eventual use and adoption of systems that generate data for such visualizations.
为了更好地理解老年人如何使用健康可视化工具，以及影响其效用的潜在障碍，我们对 21 名老年人进行了半结构化访谈。在这些会议中，我们向参与者展示了两个可探索的交互式可视化工具。通过亲和图练习，我们提取了五个与老年人如何使用健康可视化相关的关键主题，并提供了相应的建议，作为为专注于老年人的健康可视化工具开发人员提供的设计要点。通过研究老年人如何感知健康可视化工具的效用，我们为设计决策奠定了基础，这些决策会影响生成此类可视化工具数据的系统的最终使用和采用。
