Tackling Barriers Adoption Assisted Living

项目摘要

The COBALT project is examining the gap between the development of assistive living technologies (ALTs) aimed at supporting older adults and take-up of these devices by the target population. Our approach is to work with older adults as experts to understand what they like and dislike about technology and how they make decisions to adopt or abandon new technology and devices. To achieve this we are looking at items people love and use in their every day lives as well as items they have abandoned. We are also finding out about how people explore new technologies and what factors are important for them making decisions about adoption. Alongside older adults we are also working with health and social care providers at different levels to understand the factors that influence provision and support of ALTs to older adults. We are working with front line staff to explore their attitudes to technology generally and ALTs in particular. We are also interviewing commissioners and service providers to identify key influencers in the provision of ALTs to older adults. Finally, we are working with industry to understand the key decision-making points where we can try to bridge the gap with their end-users. Our overall aim is to bring all of these groups together in a series of interactive events to help them understand and learn from each other.

钴项目正在研究旨在支持老年人的辅助生活技术(ALT)的开发与目标人群对这些设备的接受之间的差距。我们的方法是与老年人作为专家合作，了解他们对技术的喜欢和不喜欢，以及他们如何做出采用或放弃新技术和设备的决定。为了实现这一点，我们关注人们在日常生活中喜欢和使用的物品，以及他们丢弃的物品。我们还了解了人们是如何探索新技术的，以及哪些因素对他们做出采用决策是重要的。除了老年人，我们还在与不同级别的卫生和社会护理提供者合作，以了解影响向老年人提供和支持低血压疗法的因素。我们正在与一线工作人员合作，探讨他们对技术的总体态度，特别是低价竞标。我们还在约谈专员和服务提供商，以确定向老年人提供低价竞价的关键影响因素。最后，我们正在与业界合作，了解关键的决策点，在这些点上，我们可以尝试弥合与最终用户的差距。我们的总体目标是通过一系列互动活动将所有这些群体聚集在一起，帮助他们相互了解和学习。
