The focus of CREATE is on aging adults and their interactions with technology systems. The overarching goal of CREATE is to harness the potential benefits and power of technology to maintain, support, and foster the cognitive, emotional, and physical health of aging adults to enhance independence, well-being, and quality of life. Method The aims of CREATE are to conduct research aimed at developing, implementing, and evaluating technology-based solutions that support successful and productive aging; provide interdisciplinary training and research opportunities to students and junior scientists; and broadly disseminate the findings, protocols, and tools of CREATE. To achieve these aims CREATE has a research program that includes individual and cross-site projects (Weill Cornell Medicine; Florida State University, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign) and a pilot research program; Administrative, Data and Technical Development, and Dissemination Cores and Community, Scientific and Industry Advisory Boards. The conceptual framework for CREATE is based on a transactional model of person-technology interactions which recognizes the importance of individual differences, the influence of context (physical and social) on performance, and that human-technology interactions are dynamic and changes over time. CREATE's research approach is guided by a combined Human Factors Engineering and Cognitive Psychology approach with a focus on user-centered design. The user-centered design process is a fundamental component of our research projects. Our cross-site structure enables us to examine issues surrounding aging and technology with diverse populations in diverse contexts. It also enables us to expand our scientific and technical resources and to broaden our dissemination footprint. Results and Discussion CREATE has developed a comprehensive data base on aging and technology; examined issues of aging and technology across a range of tasks, technologies, and populations; promoted new areas of research; trained new investigators; and broadly disseminated our findings and tools nationally and internationally to researchers, policy makers, service providers, and aging adults. Our research portfolio encompasses attitudinal issues, issues related to technology adoption and acceptance, input and interface design, training and instructional support, and technology applications in living, work, leisure, and healthcare settings. The research projects explore innovative uses of existing technologies and support the development of new technology tools and are designed to make contributions to science and yield practical outcomes with direct impacts for older adults and families. Importantly, our book Designing for Older Adults (part of the Human Factors and Aging Series), jointly authored by the CREATE Principal Investigators, is now in its third edition and we also co-authored a compendium Case Studies companion book. CREATE also has established strong community and industry partnerships, that are essential to our research, training, and dissemination programs. Overall, CREATE strives to develop, implement, and evaluate technology-based lines of research, interventions, and programs, to support health and wellbeing; ensure that technology applications achieve full potential, and are accessible, useful to, and usable by diverse populations of aging. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
