Abstract
Recently mental health issues of older people became a large part of society and the demand for elderly mental healthcare services is increasing. Non-face-to-face online mental health services are recommended because they can respond to psychological changes at an initial stage and are highly cost-effective. In Korea, there are few online services based on psychological evidence and considering the user experience of elderly users. This paper describes the overall 3-year production process of the ICT-based Mental Healthcare Service Platform for Older People (IMPOP). After preliminary interviews with practitioners and elderly users, we identified the primary mental health service demands of the elderly. Therefore, a single service platform considering the needs of the users and evidence-based tasks is designed. We present a detailed explanation of the developed modules of IMPOP. In the end, we discuss the implications of IMPOP and suggestions for the remaining research period.
