Technology & Design

Our Technology & Design Team is made up of software/hardware engineers and interaction designers who ensure that:

• all hardware and software interfaces are as intuitive  as possible for older adults
• all technology deployments, in the home or clinic, are unobtrusive

Three key principles underpin our technology and design effort:

1. Avoid technology push – rather than developing technologies for the sake of innovation, we do so as a response to a research requirement or as an appropriate intervention for a challenge associated with ageing.
2. Learn from our users – we are committed to a user-centred approach to technology development.
3. Re-use – where we can we use off the shelf technologies and avoid developing our own bespoke technology.
