What this research studies
Our team is working to understand what older adults and their caregivers truly need from technology. We bring together experts in artificial intelligence and aging to identify promising AI solutions that can meet these needs. We then help refine these ideas into practical products that can make a real difference in daily life. This effort also shares knowledge to encourage more innovation in AI for aging.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project focuses on understanding the needs of older adults and their family caregivers to guide future AI development.
Not a fit: Patients not interested in providing input on technology needs or those without caregiving responsibilities may not directly benefit from this specific phase of work.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to the development of more effective and user-friendly AI tools specifically designed to support the well-being and independence of older adults and their caregivers.
How similar studies have performed: This project is establishing a new framework for translating AI technology into practical use for older adults, rather than testing a specific intervention with prior success.
