We are healthier together: designing for technology-mediated health coproductions by older adults

Engagement in social activities and participation in community, allows people to coproduce their own health and wellbeing. This paper reports an ongoing design study that uses an email listserv to support older adults to organize and enact more coproductions together. Email is a tool that our participants are familiar with and already use. We augment their daily practices and past experience of this simple technology for promoting health coproductions. We discuss the rationale for using email as a tool, the design of the listserv, and how the older adults use the new technology.
