Implications of ageing for the design of cognitive interaction systems
It tackles the problem of improving life quality for older adults through technology, but appears incremental as it builds on existing work without introducing new methods or results.
The paper addresses the challenge of designing cognitive interaction systems to enhance the quality of life for older adults, exploring how technological advancements can be leveraged to benefit this demographic.
We are living longer in times of the biggest technological revolution humanity had ever seen before. Trying to understand how these two facts interact with each other, or more specifically, trying to maximise the benefits that new developments could potentially offer for the enhancement of the quality of life of older adults, is a task on which we have already begun to work. In particular, the rapid growth of cognitive interaction systems (CISs), technologies that learn and interact with humans to extend what human and machine could do on their own, offers a promising landscape of possibilities.
