Description
Benefit from research exploring older adults’ perceptions and attitudes toward currently available interior design features and assistive technologies that support active living at home. You will learn about assistive technology solutions to support four active living categories: housekeeping; environmental controls; safety and security; and environmental adaptations, in addition to comprehensive smart home/home automation systems. In addition, receive hands-on guidance in applying accessible online tools in your research on assistive technology design solutions. This course presents an overview and findings from a study conducted by Virginia Tech, funded by the ASID Foundation Transform Grant.
What You Will Learn
- Identify currently available design and ambient assistive technologies that can support active living in residential environments of older adults
- Recognize which design features and/or assistive technologies may be more appropriate for different older adult populations based on income or ability level
- Describe how research studying policy and design process decisions can apply to the larger design community.
- Utilize the interactive data visualizations to make informed design decisions on home-based technologies.
Access Period: One year from registration date.
