Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The šrst three chapters of the book set the broad context for the remainder of the book by providing working dešnitions of quality of life and quality of life technologies (QoLTs), describing who might benešt from such technology, and presenting a general model of the facilitators and barriers of technology uptake. The goal of this chapter is to describe the use of survey methods for understanding broad user attitudes and preferences for QoLT. These surveys would typically be conducted in the early phases of QoLT design, prior to the development of specišc technology system prototypes (although they could also be used in later phases of the iterative design, development, and evaluation process to be described in Chapters 5 and 6).
