Technology for an Ageing Population

Prof. Rachel McCrindle and Dr Faustina Hwang, University of Reading

Thursday 22 March 2012 19.00 for 19.30

Palmer Building, University of Reading RG6 6UR

The population worldwide is growing older. Technologies can play an
important role in helping older people live more healthy, safe,
fulfilled and independent lives.

To achieve this, though, we must make sure that technology is easy to
use and acceptable to older adults. Devices must not be developed in
isolation from other research disciplines, nor from the people they
are designed to assist.

This talk is about designing technologies with and for older people.
We will present projects about designing technologies for improving
the health, wellbeing, or quality of life for an ageing population.

This event is free of charge and open to all, with refreshments at 19.00.
