From distance to context
As individuals age, changes in cognitive health can alter how they engage with their environments, with disruptions in daily life participation potentially signaling emerging challenges. Life-space, which quantifies the spatial extent and frequency of an individual's movement, provides a lens to capture changes. While life-space has been studied among community-dwelling older adults, its application in dementia remains limited, despite the unique…
"It’s not at all the same as being in the same room, being in the same space"
1 This study investigates how information and communication technology (ICT) facilitated older adults’ home modification to encompass pre-pandemic activities, as well as the health implications of this transition. Using a sample of 24 adults (65+) who lived in the Toronto area during the first summer of the pandemic (May 2020–August 2020), we conduct a qualitative thematic analysis of interviews about daily life, health, and ICT use. We employ di…
Older People’s Use of Digital Technology During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major impact on the lives of everyone, but in particular on the health and well-being of older people. It has also disrupted the way that individuals access services and interact with one another, and physical distancing and “Stay at Home” orders have seen digital interaction become a necessity. While these restrictions have highlighted the importance of technology in everyday life, little is known ab…
Demographic and Psychographic Factors of Social Isolation During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented situation in which physical distancing and “stay at home” orders have increased the pressures for social isolation. Critically, certain demographic factors have been linked to increased feelings of isolation and loneliness. These at-risk groups for social isolation may be disproportionately affected by the changes and restrictions that have been implemented to prevent viral spread. In our analysis, …
Learning and Personalizing Socially Assistive Robot Behaviors to Aid with Activities of Daily Living
Socially assistive robots can autonomously provide activity assistance to vulnerable populations, including those living with cognitive impairments. To provide effective assistance, these robots should be capable of displaying appropriate behaviors and personalizing them to a user's cognitive abilities. Our research focuses on the development of a novel robot learning architecture that uniquely combines learning from demonstration ( LfD ) and rei…

Network-based approaches for evaluating ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies
Ambient assisted living technologies could support people experiencing physical or cognitive challenges, to maintain social identities and complex activities of daily living. Although there has been substantial investment in developing ambient assisted living innovation, less effort has been devoted to understanding how to evaluate the impact of ambient assisted living on physical and mental health. Taking a theory-based evaluation approach, we s…
Expanding design possibilities for life with dementia
This forum is dedicated to personal health in all its many facets: decision making, goal setting, celebration, discovery, reflection, and coordination, among others. We look at innovations in interactive technologies and how they help address current critical healthcare challenges. --- Gillian R. Hayes, Editor
