Abstract

Abstract. The paper is based on a research project that the authors are develop- ing with public sector representatives to improve Assistive Technologies for older people in the region of Mälardalen, in Sweden. Drawing from Science and Technology Studies, Design research, and Organization theory, we propose an epistemological approach for studying ageing as a process that stretches over a number of heterogeneous actors. Concepts of “sociomateriality”, “engage- ment”, and “articulation” frame our purpose to develop an actionable knowledge.
