A research framework to guide design of technologies for successful aging with disabilities...9th World Conference of the International Society for Gerontechnology (ISG), June 18-21, 2014, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose Adults with disabilities are living longer and thus likely to experience age-related declines that can negatively influence their independence and quality of life. Common abilities that decline with age are sensory (e.g., vision, hearing, tactile), physical (e.g., strength; dexterity), mobil...

Common abilities that decline with age are sensory (e.g., vision, hearing, tactile), physical (e.g., strength; dexterity), mobility (e.g., balance; coordination), and cognitive1. However, we do not have enough information about how normal age-related changes impact individuals who are already dealing with an existing disability (e.g., hearing, vision, or mobility impairment). The overarching goal of this project is to ensure the scientific foundation necessary for effective technology integration into the lives of older adults with disabilities. Method We have developed a framework to guide research in this underrepresented area. Based on an assessment of the literature and large-scale questionnaire data (e.g., National Health and Aging Trends Study), we have identified the needs for research that can guide the design of technologies to support individuals aging with disabilities. Results & Discussion Our framework is presented in Figure 1. Research in these areas will provide the converging evidence necessary to design integrated technology supports for older adults with disabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
