This paper introduces a set of guidelines for involving seniors in participatory design (PD) of home-based welfare technologies. The guidelines are produced through a literature review of existing research and focus on the practical experiences of involving seniors in participatory design activities. The guidelines suggest that the design process should be tailored to the needs and abilities of the participants in a way that supports the development of trusted relationships, and facilitates learning and understanding among researchers and participants. The guidelines are useful for researchers and designers intending to involve seniors in the design of home-based welfare technologies, and give recommendations regarding the recruitment, motivation, and engagement of seniors in participatory design activities.
