CHS: Small: Collaborative Research:Toolkits for Aging in Place for Older Retirees (TAIPOR)

- 你好小号：合作研究：老年退休人员就地养老工具（TAIPOR）许多老年人希望尽可能长时间地住在自己的家中。这项研究将发现退休的老年人希望在家中使用什么技术。工具包将被创建，以便人们可以使技术的外观和行为的方式，他们希望他们。老年退休人员将能够设计自己的技术。研讨会和阅读材料将帮助人们学习设计这些技术。 TAIPOR的目的是评估老年人？同时支持他们设计和创建他们自己的就地老化技术。TAIPOR研究团队将通过调查当前物联网（IoT）的感知有用性和局限性来改进老化技术。研究结果将为开发一个工具包提供信息，使老年退休人员能够轻松地将电子产品集成到日常用品中。研究人员将利用家庭纵向，定性方法与短期参与式设计研讨会开发工具包。 TAIPOR将利用那些有兴趣学习STEM的老年退休人员尚未开发的潜力，但目前没有年轻人经常拥有的机会或劳动力支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

CHS: Small: Collaborative Research: Tools for Aging in Place for Older Retirees (TAIPOR)Many older people want to live in their homes for as long as possible. This research will find what technology retired older adults want to use in their homes. Toolkits will be created so people can make the technologies look and act the way they want them to. Older retirees will be able to design their own technologies. Workshops and reading materials will help people learn to design these technologies. The aim of TAIPOR is to assess older adults? interest in pervasive computing while supporting them in designing and creating their own aging in place technologies. The TAIPOR research team will improve aging in place technologies by investigating the perceived usefulness and limitations of current Internet of Things (IoT). Findings will inform the development of a toolkit that enables older retirees to easily integrate electronics into everyday objects. The researchers will utilize in-home longitudinal, qualitative methods with short-term participatory design workshops to develop the toolkit. TAIPOR will leverage the untapped potential of older retirees who are interested in learning about STEM, but do not currently have the opportunities or the workforce support that younger individuals often have.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
