Additional information
<20> This paper was accepted at CHI 2010 the premier HCI conference (acceptance rate 22%) and awarded an honourable mention (top 5% of submissions). It describes innovative design principles and digital technologies for older old (over 85) in residential institutions. These present challenging requirements for usability, and acceptability. The Prayer Companion was developed and deployed for 18 months in a monastery of older old nuns. It was later exhibited and acquired for The Museum of Modern Art (New York), one of the world’s most prestigious museums (2.5 million visitors annually). It also received considerable national and international media coverage.
