Abstract
This workshop introduces a new center, funded by the National Institute on Disability, Living, and Rehabilitation Research, with the aim of supporting older adults with cognitive impairment (CI) through adaptive and individualized technology solutions. The objectives of ENHANCE are to: 1) increase knowledge about the challenges older adults with CI encounter, how these vary according to type of impairment, needed areas of and preferences for support, and current use of technology; 2) identify, develop, and evaluate technology applications that offer solutions; 3) disseminate our findings to multiple stakeholders; and 4) advance new knowledge in aging, cognitive impairment, and technology design.
