Project Overview

A critical part of AGE-WELL’s mandate is to develop an in-depth understanding of the technology needs and preferences of older adults. This project is reaching out to those who live outside big cities and also to Indigenous people. The goal is to explore user needs for two very distinct populations, giving voice to those who aren’t usually part of studies. The project involves asking users’ opinions of their particular needs and how they think technology might assist in improving their lives. It will also address the challenges of connectivity in remote areas.
