Technology has been proven to positively impact health and wellbeing - specifically, assistive technologies, virtual reality, virtual social gatherings and apps that support getting together for social activities.
But, with an ageing population, how can we ensure these technologies are accessible and appealing to older people?
A new toolkit has been launched by a project co-led by the University of Plymouth to help developers consider older people's accessibility right from the start.
The toolkit, available on the University website, is the main outcome of the Generating Older Active Lives Digitally (GOALD) project - a three-year project funded by UKRI, and co-led by the University of Plymouth's Centre for Health Technology and the University of Stirling.
