Assess User Needs for Home-Based Activities

We conducted in-home interviews with older adults with long-term disabilities to understand their support needs for everyday activities in the home. We identified common activity challenges, persisting un-met needs, as well as the solutions being used to address those challenges.

Effects of Hearing Loss on Aging with Vision Disability

This project explored how adults with vision loss utilize sound-based technologies and strategies to navigate their communities and the effects of hearing loss on these activities. 

Voice-Activated Digital Assistants to Support Health and Independence

We conducted in-home evaluations of Digital Assistance in a Box – a specially designed technology suite to support older adults with mobility disabilities at home. The box contained a digital home assistant (Amazon Echo Show), smart light, and smart plug, as well as comprehensive instructional materials.
