This research delves into the intersection of assistive computing and intelligent systems in healthcare, focusing on the challenges of telecare adoption among older adults. Key barriers such as silo thinking and unattractive technology hinder deployment. Understanding aging processes and the preferences of seniors is crucial for effectively integrating technology into their lives. The project aims to explore ways to enhance the acceptance of sensor technology, foster independence, and position aging not as a disability but as a manageable phase enriched by innovative solutions.

  3. Telehealth • Lee’s picture!

  4. Telecare • Lee’s picture!

  5. AGEING – the big ‘problem’, but • Telecare still not widely understood OR deployed • Need to understand the barriers to adoption • Eg silo thinking & service delivery • Eg unattractive technology (not objects of desire) • Need proper understanding of the processes of ageing, and what older people WANT

  6. Technology pull and push

  7. My directions • A ‘lab’ to test hypotheses (with Christian) • Real testing community that matches target (cf PEOPPLE project) • Can sensor technology be acceptable to older people – how can it be made more so? • Exploring other means of realising independence, eg NORC communities • Positioning aging as a disability that can be ameliorated with technology rather than...

  8. As a hopeless dead end, as in “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.” “I should have called it Something you somehow haven’t to deserve” Robert Frost: Death of the Hired Man (1915)
