GER410 Engaging the Elder Patient
The extent and optimization on how older adults use new technologies, their attitudes for the adoption of technology, and the influence of technology design on older adults' performance are discussed. Emerging areas of research like home monitoring systems, healthcare technologies (e.g., telehealth), robotics (e.g., Nursebot), and automated systems (e.g., cruise control) as opportunities and challenges are analyzed. This course will address the needs of clinicians, other healthcare providers, payers, and policy makers.
