A talk with Babylon Health about ageing and practical tips for user research with older populations.

A participant in his late-70s in a workshop reviewing print and web content. During secondary telephone recruitment screening, we learned that he lived with some hearing loss.

These factors helped his attention stay focussed on content analysis and insights, rather than on the conversation itself.
