The high number of seniors that feels excluded of society highlights the necessity to promote active ageing. This intention can be supported through online platforms that encourage participation in social activities. The goal of the present study was to identify design principles of online support platforms for seniors through focus groups and to ideate the platform through co-creation sessions. The results show that a social platform for seniors must, among other, help to foster contact between users, and must provide services and meaningful activities. A first mock-up of the platform's design has been created based on the co-creation sessions and will be iteratively evaluated and enhanced in future studies in four countries across Europe. Our findings are in line with those of other studies demonstrating that seniors attach importance to trustworthiness and need to maintain social ties.
大量感觉被社会排斥的老年人凸显了促进积极老龄化的必要性。这一意图可以通过鼓励参与社会活动的在线平台来支持。本研究的目的是通过焦点小组确定老年人在线支持平台的设计原则，并通过共创会议构思该平台。结果表明，一个面向老年人的社交平台除其他外，必须有助于促进用户之间的联系，并且必须提供服务和有意义的活动。基于共创会议创建了该平台设计的第一个原型，并将在未来欧洲四个国家的研究中进行迭代评估和改进。我们的研究结果与其他研究一致，这些研究表明老年人重视可信度并需要维持社会关系。
