Engaging older adults in the development of digital services is an important aspect.Although previous studies have identified challenges associated with involving this targetgroup, more research is required on how technologies in participating design can be usedto address these challenges. To investigate how older adults can be involved indevelopment, we have investigated the question at issue:"How can older adults be involved in the development of digital services?"In our study, we have identified challenges associated with the involvement of olderadults in the development of digital services, and selected three participating designtechniques for the purpose of managing these challenges. Each technique represents apart of a development process. This study is driven by a qualitative research approach,where data collection has been conducted by observations, focus groups interviews andworkshops. The main contribution of the study is guidelines that describe how challengesassociated with the involvement of older adults can be managed using selectedtechniques.
