- W149225909 abstract "This thesis presents the design of an interactive tool to improve elders’ social interactions. First, we studied the social interactions of the elderly. These interactions often diminish as elders experience dynamic physical, social, and cognitive decline. We examined how technology might extend these diminishing social interactions. We looked for the ways to minimize the technological barriers faced by the elderly in order to more easily integrate the technology into their lives. The final design focused on social interaction through travel and knowledge of a place. It is a service called ‘My City Counselor’, which allows elders to share their knowledge about local places they know well. This tool is designed to support the elderly in building new relationships or in maintaining close existing relationships by providing useful local information or by sharing common memories. Introduction The elderly population continues to grow rapidly in the U.S. Statistics show that by the year 2025, 20 percent of the population will be over the age of 65. Additional research shows that social relationships are a principal contributing factor to quality of life for the elderly (Gabriel et al., 2004). As elders age, they experience dynamic physical, social, and cognitive decline which fundamentally reduces their opportunities for social interaction. The need for enhancing social interaction will be one of the biggest, since there is a greater possibility for seniors to be socially isolated because of physical and mental decline as people age. Product and service design has yet to respond to these needs. One reason may be a stigma against trying new technology for this population, and the realities of deploying it in the settings where elders live (Lindley et al., 2008). Dorfman’s work focused on the values and relationships that are important to elders (Dorfman, 1994). Our contextual research examining products for elders revealed that many products developed for elders lack a deep understanding of the values and relationships that Dorfman found to" @default.
