| Summary: | This article presents a study on the participation and involvement of five Brazilian women, most aged 60 or over, in an online interaction codesign process. To understand women’s participation and involvement during the process, content analysis was carried out, using a specific method to identify emerging patterns and themes. The results revealed the active participation of women, contributing significantly to the design solution. Furthermore, participants’ involvement was expressed through positive feelings such as joy, interest, pride, and satisfaction, demonstrating the positive impact of their participation in the codesign process. However, significant challenges were also identified, such as distractions caused by external noise, family interference, and internet connection problems. Some aspects related to the way people feel and perceive their participation in a design process, as well as the stimuli that encourage them to actively participate, stand out as motivational factors for greater involvement and active participation. They include elements such as recognition and appreciation of their contributions, belonging, interest in the research topic, empowerment, adequate facilitation, flexibility of the research team, development of social skills, and personal experiences. It is hoped that this study will provide valuable guidance for future inclusive design initiatives, with the aim of promoting meaningful and effective participation of older adults in collaborative activities.
