腦力激盪是一種長期以來被廣泛應用於各種設計與創新活動中的創意方法，特別是在解決複雜且多變的問題時，此方法透過群體的智慧來激發和結合不同的思維，進而產生創新的解決方案。隨著社會逐漸進入高齡化時代，高齡者的經驗和智慧被逐漸重視，成為創新與設計活動中不可或缺的資源。然而，市場上現有的腦力激盪工具多未特別針對高齡者的操作習慣和認知特點進行調整，限制了他們的創意發揮。本研究通過參與式設計方法，與高齡者合作開發了一套適合他們使用的腦力激盪卡牌及相關活動流程，目的是改善他們在創意活動中的參與度和設計成效。研究開始於對高齡者在創意過程中需求的深入了解，包括他們的偏好與面臨的挑戰。在此基礎上，與高齡者共同開發了新的工具，並在隨後的參與式工作坊中進行了實際應用和反饋蒐集。研究結果顯示，新開發的工具在提升高齡者的創意思考和參與活動的積極性方面取得了積極的效果。高齡者表達了對改良後卡牌工具的滿意度，特別是在易用性和激發創意思考的能力方面。這些反饋確認了參與式設計過程的有效性，並指出了進一步改進的可能方向。值得注意的是，本研究在參與者的選擇和地理範圍上受到一定的限制，故其結果可能主要適用於台南市的高齡者群體。未來的研究可擴展至不同地區和文化背景的高齡者，進一步驗證和改善該工具的通用性和成效。

Brainstorming is a widely applied creative method in various design and innovation activities, especially effective in solving complex and dynamic problems. This method leverages group intelligence to spark and combine different thoughts, producing innovative solutions. As society ages, the experience and wisdom of older adults are increasingly valued, becoming indispensable resources in innovation and design activities. However, existing brainstorming tools in the market are rarely tailored to the operational habits and cognitive characteristics of older adults, limiting their creative potential. This study, through participatory design methods, collaborates with older adults to develop a set of brainstorming tool cards and related activity processes suitable for their use. The goal is to improve their participation and effectiveness in creative activities.
The study begins with a deep understanding of the needs of older adults in the creative process, including their preferences and challenges. Based on this, new tools were co-developed with older adults and practically applied in subsequent participatory workshops to collect feedback. The results show that the newly developed tools significantly enhance older adults' creative thinking and participation in activities. The older adults expressed satisfaction with the improved tool cards, particularly in terms of usability and the ability to stimulate creative thinking. These feedbacks confirm the effectiveness of the participatory design process and suggest directions for further improvement. Notably, the study's participant selection and geographical scope are limited, meaning the results may primarily apply to older adults in Tainan. Future research could expand to different regions and cultural backgrounds to further verify and improve the tool's universality and effectiveness.
