AGE-WELL 2016 Conference Minute Madness: Aging, Disability and Technology (ADT): Understanding and Advancing Canadian Policies to Enhance Access to Assistive TechnologiesThe ADT team are mapping the programs and policies across Canada to understand how assistive devices are currently accessed or procured in Canada. Preliminary findings indicate that challenges exist among users, caregivers and healthcare workers who seek access to devices given the complexity in identifying, understanding and applying to programs. To complement our jurisdictional scan, a scoping review is currently in progress with the aim of examining the models, frameworks and principles that have been used to understand ethical concepts and challenges related to technology access, with a focus on their use for older adults and/or those living with disabilities. 8.2 ADT University of Toronto, McMaster Health Forum, McMaster University | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2016-10-20 | |
AGE-WELL 2016 Conference Poster: Ethical Concepts and Challenges related to Assistive Technology Access: A Scoping Review ProtocolOur scoping review will be conducted to examine the ethical concepts and challenges related to assistive technology access and procurement, which includes six stages: 1) conducting broad searches to identify potentially relevant literature; 2) refining selection criteria; 3) reviewing search results; 4) mapping literature according to conceptual areas of interest; and 5) summarizing results. Findings will provide insight into the literature related to ethical concepts and challenges pertaining to technology access. We plan to use the findings to help inform a series of citizen panels in Canada to identify Canadians’ values and preferences for enhancing equitable access to assistive technology.8.2 ADT University of Toronto, McMaster Health Forum, McMaster University | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2016-10-20 | |
