CCCR Seminar: Challenges in designing technological devices for older people and people with diverse capabilities
Please join us for our latest CCCR seminar, presented by Raghu Gudur. Abstract: “Disability is the inability to accommodate to the world as it is currently designed” (Vanderheiden , 1997, p. 2013). What is needed to address this exclusion is more attention to empathic design that will help older people to lead an independent and dignified life. Over the past few decades, there is a growing interest in tackling the problems associated with the ageing population. Although these efforts have increased awareness and scale of the problem, on the ground, older people are still facing significant challenges to functioning optimally at home. In this talk, I would like to share my thoughts and research done as part of my OSP towards addressing the challenges faced by the ageing population in leading an independent and dignified life.
