AgeTech for Staying Connected

While not intended to be exhaustive, this book covers basic information on common obstacles and barriers to technology development and adoption, things to keep in mind when using technology, and making the most of what is available to support older adults in staying connected.

This book is a brief introductory guide to the role AgeTech plays in staying connected in later life. It offers insight into current AgeTech research on staying connected and illustrates entry points for deploying such technologies through a range of personas and scenarios capturing the common circumstances that lead older people to become disconnected, lonely, and isolated. The book provides readers with an accessible resource for understanding what sorts of AgeTech are available, what developments have been made and are currently underway, and what evidence exists for current technologies. The rapid pace of development in AgeTech, particularly in the commercial sphere, along with the competing claims being made for the benefits of many items, makes this practical guidebook essential for researchers and developers, policymakers, service providers and caregivers, and older adults themselves. While not intended to be exhaustive, this book covers basic information on common obstacles and barriers to technology development and adoption, things to keep in mind when using technology, and making the most of what is available to support older adults in staying connected.
