Abstract Everyone ages differently. Many experience long-term health conditions they need to manage effectively in order to live well. In this talk, I will share lessons from working with people coming to terms with and learning to manage long-term health conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, HIV and PMOS, and what they need from health technologies, the socio-technical environment and the care system. I will discuss approaches to engaging with people with diverse needs, backgrounds and experiences, and discuss principles for designing for the challenges of ageing well.
