What is Supporting Healthy Aging through the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability of Assistive Technology Implementation: A Rapid Realist Review of Participatory Co-Design for Assistive Technology with Older Adults about?

**Objective:** To identify the key mechanisms, contexts, and outcomes that drive the successful participatory co-design of assistive technologies. **Method:** A rapid realist review was conducted using a systematic search strategy. After screening, a final set of 28 articles were included. Articles were analyzed for evidence relevant to our initial program theory (IPT), and context-mechanism-outcome configurations were developed, resulting in a revised program theory. **Results:** All 28 articles included were highly relevant to the IPT, and had sufficient detail regarding the process of participatory co-design. The findings of this review highlight several key context-mechanism-outcome configurations as potential patterns in the data under the two dimensions of the evolving program theory: __knowledge integration__ and the __ethico-political__ dimension. **Discussion:** This review revealed the key mechanisms of __mutual awareness, mutual learning, trust__, and __reciprocity__ that need to be taken into account in AT development and assessment. We concluded that participatory co-design requires a restructuring of power relations between end-users and those traditionally in control
