Profile
Dr. Arlene Astell is WP1-NEEDS-OA co-leader. She is Assistant Professor in Department of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy and Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and an Affiliate Scientist at KITE, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. Arlene came to Ontario from the UK after establishing a successful career innovating with older adults at the Universities of St. Andrews and Sheffield. Her research focuses on the creative application of technology to support people to live and age as well as possible, irrespective of cognitive or physcial impairment. She is co-creator of CIRCA, a cogntive prosthesis for people with dementia developed to support conversation, which has been used successfully in the UK, Netherlands and Sweden. She also led the teaming co-creating NANA, an application for older adults to track their nutrition, physical activity, mood and cognition at home. Since coming to Canada, NANA has been transformed into DataDay, a self-management application for people recently diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment of early dementia. Arlene is Canadian lead for two internationl projects: RESILIEN-T, an AAL project examining support for people to live well at hime with cognitive impairment and MCI@work, part of the More Years-Better lives programe, studying the situation of people who develop MCI or dementia whilst still in the workforce.

Machine based prompting could support people with dementia through the sequences required to complete activities. Mixed Reality Technologies (MRTs) could provide affordable, adaptable systems that can be easily adopted and deployed to achieve scalable solutions1.5-CAT Toronto Rehab Institute, University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2018-10-17 | | | Mixed Reality Technologies for children and older adults: a comparisonChildren and older adults fall within the extreme ends of the demographics, and are often not taken into consideration in the design and development of Mixed reality technologies. This talk was presented at Sense IT symposium organised by Inclusive Media and Design Centre, Ryerson University.
The presentation highlighted differences in strategies followed by children and older adults in interacting with Mixed reality technologies.1.5-CAT Toronto Rehab Institute, University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2018-11-24 | | | Understanding interactions of people with dementia with Mixed Reality Technologies: an observational studyMixed Reality technologies (MRTs) could offer functional support to people with dementia to continue doing their everyday activities. MRTs could provide scalable solutions that are affordable, adaptable and that can be easily adopted and deployed. Designers are exploring various physical-digital couplings to provide best immersive experiences to users. For MRTs to be able to deliver cues and prompts in task sequencing, firstly requires an understanding of the feasibility of these couplings for people with dementia to interact with. This study has thus examined the interactions of people with dementia with MRTs with different physical-digital couplings to identify barriers and facilitators to their use.
1.5-CAT Toronto Rehab Institute, University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2019-02-26 | | | Presence in Mixed Reality Technologies for people with dementiaMixed Reality technologies (MRTs) including Augmented Virtuality and Augmented Reality - could offer functional support to people with dementia to continue doing their everyday activities. MRTs have the potential to provide scalable solutions that are affordable, adaptable and that can be easily adopted and deployed. ‘Presence’ is an experience with technologically mediated perceptions that generates a feeling of being there and the illusion of non-mediation (Heeter, 1992; Lombard & Ditton, 1997; Wagner et al., 2009). The existing frameworks for presence have been established in the context of Virtual Reality (VR) that have limited use in the design and assessment of Mixed Reality environments. The real world in MRTs need to be taken into account along with the virtual world in understanding presence in MRTs. The cognitive impairment experienced by people with dementia adds another layer of complexity to our understanding of presence in relation to mediated real and virtual environments. This study examines what constitutes an experience of presence for people with dementia when they interact with Mixed Reality technologies. 1.5-CAT Toronto Rehab Institute, University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2019-02-15 | | | Ontari Shores REB approval for 'Feasibility of Mixed Reality Technologies for people with dementia' projectEthics application for the project was prepared and submitted to the Ontario Shores Research Ethics Board (REB).

The event was attended by approximately 30 people, primarily older adults from Retirement Concepts independent living residences, as well as participants from academic research, industry, and residential care. The AAL-WELL project is an international, transdisciplinary research project investigating how to design technology that better supports older adults with mild cognitive impairment (such as memory issues) to live well. It includes researchers from four universities: Simon Fraser University, University of Toronto, University of Sheffield (UK), and Karolinska Institutet (Sweden). The event was an opportunity for project members to present some of the work they have engaged in over the past two years, as well as share some of their findings. It was also an opportunity to ask key questions to the participants attending the event in order to generate discussion and receive feedback.
The discussion groups were presented with three questions: 1) Would you live in a smart home?, 2) How could technology support participation in activities outside the home?, and 3) How would you prefer to be involved in setting up supportive technology? The event provoked a great deal of discussion, with many different perspectives, opinions, and experiences shared in lively conversation. It was a good example of the value of building relationships between researchers and community partners. The AAL-WELL project members were able to present their ideas and discoveries to a diverse audience, while the community participants were able to have their voices heard and provide feedback to guide future stages of research. In the end, the high quality of insight generated through this knowledge café further cemented our belief that community outreach is a core part of being a truly engaged university.1.2 TUNGSTEN KITE Research Institute at University Health Network, Simon Fraser University, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, University of Toronto | KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization | 2015-09-24 | Piper Jackson, Andrew Sixsmith, "Rahul Chhokar ", Arlene Astell, Alex Mihailidis, "Louise Nygård ", "Tim Gomersall ", "Annicka Hedman ", "Rajjeet Phull ", Amy Hwang, Lupin Battersby, Sarah Canham | | The interplay between contextual factors and engagement in valued but challenging activities among people with cognitive decline: A focus group study1.2 TUNGSTEN KITE Research Institute at University Health Network, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2016-03-21 | | | Informing Understandings of Mild Cognitive Impairment for Older Adults: Implications from a Scoping Review1.2 TUNGSTEN Simon Fraser University, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, University of Toronto, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2016-03-27 | Mei Fang, "Coatta, K.
