Abstract:
"The use of technology to support AIRP [aging in the right place] holds great promise," (Kokorelias et al. 2024: 16) and ethical and human rights considerations must be considered in the design, development and deployment of AgeTech solutions. This may be realized through interprofessional and intersectoral collaboration, as well as meaningful inclusion and engagement of lived expertise and experience from older adults and their caregivers. Theoretical frameworks and evidence-based design/research models can structure the consultation processes. They can guide the agile and iterative development of AgeTech based on input and feedback from end-users and community stakeholders. Funders and accelerator programs also play an important role in ensuring that AgeTech solutions that they endorse or sponsor would be ethical, accessible and feasible to older adult populations that are ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse at various levels of digital literacy.
