 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The growth of the older population, especially the "oldest old", creates a critical need to develop strategies to ensure that older adults are able to remain productive, independent and maintain a good quality of life. The variety and increased use of technology in everyday life, mandates that strategies to support older adults must consider issues surrounding technology uptake. Although technology use has risen among older adults, a digital divide remains, especially among vulnerable populations. The pace of technology innovations also poses challenges to current technology adopters. Unless we understand why technology uptake is challenging for older adults, the supportive benefits of technology will not be realized for vast numbers of people. This application is a request for continued support for the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE), an established multidisciplinary, cohesive Center that focuses on aging and technology. CREATE's goal is to ensure that older adults are able to use and realize the benefits of technology. Our objectives are to: develop a database on user preferences, needs, and problems with emerging and existing systems; assess the efficacy of design solutions; gather information on the value of technology; promote new research; support new investigators; and disseminate outcomes to a broad community. CREATE I focused on attitudinal issues: training/instructional support; and design of input devices, interfaces and support aids. Our focus in CREATE II was on technology-based tasks, stress associated with technology adoption, training, privacy, and ergonomic issues. In CREATE III we examined applications of technology in living environments, work and health care settings and the value of technology in supporting older people. CREATE IV will continue this theme and focus on optimizing the role of technology in promoting healthy, productive and successful aging in living, work and healthcare domains. CREATE will continue to involve the University of Miami, Florida State University, and Georgia Institute of Technology. CREATE will include: interrelated research projects; collaborations with business/community partners; and a cross-site project that will further evaluate PRISM, a software application that supports social connectivity, memory and access to information. The Center will include Administrative, Data Management/Statistical, and Dissemination Cores, External Scientific and Community Advisory Boards, and a Pilot Research Program. CREATE is unique in terms of its multi-disciplinary and well-integrated research team, approach to issues regarding aging and technology, and access to diverse populations.

 描述(申请人提供)：老年人口的增长，特别是“高龄老年人”，迫切需要制定战略，以确保老年人能够 保持高效、独立，并保持良好的生活质量。日常生活中技术的多样性和越来越多的使用，要求支持老年人的战略必须考虑与技术吸收有关的问题。尽管老年人对技术的使用有所增加，但数字鸿沟仍然存在，特别是在弱势群体中。技术创新的速度也给当前的技术采用者带来了挑战。除非我们理解为什么技术的普及对老年人来说是具有挑战性的，否则技术的支持性好处将不会为大量的人实现。这项申请是对老龄化和技术进步研究和教育中心(CREATE)的持续支持的请求，CREATE是一个专注于老龄化和技术的多学科、凝聚力的中心。Create的目标是确保老年人能够使用并实现技术的好处。我们的目标是：开发一个关于用户偏好、需求以及新兴和现有系统的问题的数据库；评估设计解决方案的有效性；收集关于技术价值的信息；促进新的研究；支持新的研究人员；以及向广泛的社区传播结果。Create i侧重于态度问题：培训/教学支持；以及输入设备、界面和支持辅助工具的设计。我们在Create II中的重点是基于技术的任务，与技术采用、培训、隐私和人体工程学问题相关的压力。在Create III中，我们研究了技术在生活环境、工作和医疗保健环境中的应用，以及技术在支持老年人方面的价值。Create IV将继续这一主题，并专注于优化技术在促进生活、工作和医疗保健领域的健康、多产和成功老龄化方面的作用。Create将继续涉及迈阿密大学、佛罗里达州立大学和佐治亚理工学院。CREATE将包括：相互关联的研究项目；与企业/社区合作伙伴的协作；以及将进一步评估PRISM的跨站点项目，PRISM是一种支持社会联系、记忆和获取信息的软件应用程序。该中心将包括行政、数据管理/统计和传播核心、外部科学和社区咨询委员会以及一个试点研究计划。Create的独特之处在于其多学科和整合良好的研究团队，处理老龄化和技术问题的方法，以及接触不同人群的机会。
