商品描述
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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書是一本簡短的入門指南，介紹了 AgeTech 在老年生活中保持聯繫的角色。它提供了當前 AgeTech 研究的見解，探討如何保持聯繫，並通過一系列角色和情境來說明部署這些技術的切入點，捕捉導致老年人與世隔絕、孤獨和孤立的常見情況。這本書為讀者提供了一個易於理解的資源，幫助他們了解有哪些 AgeTech 可用、已經取得了哪些進展以及目前正在進行的發展，以及現有技術的證據。AgeTech 的快速發展，特別是在商業領域，加上許多產品所聲稱的競爭性好處，使這本實用指南對於研究人員、開發者、政策制定者、服務提供者、照顧者以及老年人本身來說都是必不可少的。雖然本書並不打算涵蓋所有內容，但它涵蓋了有關技術開發和採用的常見障礙和障礙的基本信息、使用技術時需要注意的事項，以及如何充分利用可用資源來支持老年人保持聯繫。
