The focus of the chair “Value-based Digital Care Innovations” is on developing academic knowledge on an improved understanding of the complex and interconnected implementation challenges in digital care settings – esp. focused on digital innovation in extramural and intramural senior care – and the roles that both instrumental and moral value considerations play in such settings.

Acute subjective stress increases when seniors receive negative performance feedback information. The complexity of a system has no effect on subjective stress, but it does have an effect on the expectancies seniors have about their future task performance and the efficiency and effectiveness tasks are performed. The knowledge that was gathered from the experiments can be used as requirements for the design of accessible systems for seniors, e.g., it is important to strive for large fonts and buttons, native language and positive feedback information in the design. By iterative design and by taking the experience and abilities of seniors into account, most seniors, even seniors without any computer experience, are able to successfully interact with a digital information system.
