This field trip proposes a two-day session to understand and evaluate

the study is to analyze perceived challenges, influences & motivations,
barriers to adoption and issues faced in two mobile based tasks (a) mobile
wallet transactions and (b) accessing e-health apps. Findings from this
study will be interpreted to formulate design recommendations and
guidelines for the designers, useful to deploy meaningful propositions for
the elderlypopulation, thus aiming to facilitate a smooth transition to the
digital vision of India.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage themselves in an immersive
and highly engaging 2- day session to collect data in-the-wild, synthesize
data and present findings to the conference audience through poster and
presentation and also extend the field trip output and collaborate with
