Design considerations for miniaturized biosensor-enabled systems for older adults: insights from participatory design.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Miniaturized technologies, including small, portable, or wearable devices such as biosensors, smartwatches, and implantable devices, are transforming health and wellness by enabling real-time, personalized monitoring and interventions, offering older adults (OAs) greater engagement with digital health and support for self-management and well-being. OAs, however, often face usability challenges due to changes in vision, mobility, cognition, and digital literacy, highlighting the need for inclusive design. Participatory design (PD) engages OAs directly, ensuring technologies are meaningful, functional, and relevant to their everyday lives. This mini-review identifies how participatory design has been applied to emerging technologies for older adults and derives inclusive design considerations for the co-design of miniaturized, biosensor-enabled systems. A total of 22 studies published between 2020 and 2025 were synthesized and categorized into digital health technologies and civic platforms, human-robot interfaces (HRIs) for socially assistive/facilitative robots, voice-based interfaces, and immersive visualizations. Analysis revealed recurring considerations, including clarity, usability, engagement, and trustworthiness, informing a framework for age-inclusive, human-centered, miniaturized biosensor-enabled technologies.
