Abstract

It is important that studies are carried out to enable developers of new products and services to take into consideration the requirements of the older population and work towards an inclusive design. This paper presents two studies carried out to determine the attitudes and requirements of older users towards location based services and their needs for mobile phone functions and features. The resulting implications and benefits for the developers of future products and services are briefly discussed.
