Abstract: A telephone survey of Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes living in rural underserved areas and enrolled in the Informatics for Diabetes Education and Telemedicine project identified 109 subjects who requested further training in functions of the home telemedicine unit after initial in-home training by regional nurse installers.
The initial training provided the skills needed to videoconferences with nurse case managers and to transmit blood glucose and blood pressure readings, but further instruction was needed for access to Web-based education features and messaging.
This study evaluated these elderly patients' perceptions of the helpfulness of three additional telemedicine training methods: in-home visit with an regional nurse installer referencing a user's manual, unassisted patient use of the user's manual, and telephone-based training not using regional nurse installers reinforcing the user's manual.
Eligible subjects rated the helpfulness of the three computer training methods on a five-point Likert scale (1 = "not helpful at all," 5 = "very helpful").
Participants rated "in-home" training with an regional nurse installer significantly higher than they did for the user's manual alone (P < .01).
In response to this finding and other companion usability studies, Informatics for Diabetes Education and Telemedicine deployed home telemedicine units with enhanced remote training capabilities to better emulate characteristics of in-person training.

最初的訓練提供了所需的技能，以視像會議與護士的個案經理，並將其傳送血糖和血壓的讀數，但進一步的指示，是需要訪問 Web為基礎的教育功能和信息。
本研究評估這些老年患者的認知的助益增設三個遠程醫療培訓方法：在家庭訪問與區域護士安裝程序引用一個用戶手冊，硬朗病人使用的用戶手冊，電話為基礎的培訓不使用區域護士安裝加強用戶手冊。
合資格的科目評為助人的3個電腦培訓方法上的五點李克特量表（1 =“完全沒有幫助，”5 =“非常有幫助”）。
與會者評為“家庭”培訓與區域護士安裝明顯高於他們的用戶手冊單性（P <.01）。
針對這一調查和其他同伴可用性研究，信息和遠程醫學教育的糖尿病家遠程醫療單位的部署增強的遠程培訓能力，以便更好地學習特性在人的培訓。

Abstract:
Caring for the elderly is becoming a key challenge for society, given the shortage of trained personnel and the increased age of the population.
Innovative approaches are needed to help the elderly remain at home longer and more safely, that is, to age in place.
One popular strategy is to monitor the activity of the elderly: this focuses on obtaining information for caregivers rather than supporting the elderly directly.
We propose an alternative, i.e. to enhance their inter-personal communication.
We report the results of a user study with 14 independent elderly women and discuss the existing role that communication plays in maintaining their independence and wellbeing.
We highlight the importance of peer support relationships, which we call PeerCare, and how awareness of each other's rhythms and routines helps them to stay in touch.
We then describe the deployment of a technology probe, called markerClock, which a pair of elderly friends used to improve their awareness of each other's rhythms and routines.
We conclude with a discussion of how such communication appliances enhance the awareness of rhythms and routines among elderly peers and can improve their quality of life and provide safer and more satisfying aging in place.
關愛老人已成為一個關鍵的挑戰，為社會，由於缺乏訓練有素的人員和年齡的增加的人口。
需要有創新的辦法幫助老人留在家時間更長，更安全，那就是年齡的地方。
一種流行的策略是監察活動的老人：這個重點是獲取信息，而不是為照顧老人的直接支持。
我們提出一個替代方案，即以提高他們的人與人之間的溝通。
我們報告的結果與 14個用戶獨立研究老年婦女和討論現有的角色，溝通在維持其獨立性和福祉。
我們強調同伴支持的重要性關係，我們稱之為 PeerCare，以及如何認識對方的節奏和程序，以幫助他們保持聯繫。
然後，我們描述了部署一個探針技術，稱為 markerClock，其中一對老年朋友用來改善他們的認識對方的節奏和程序。
最後我們討論如何加強這種溝通用具的認識之間的節奏和常規老人同行，可以改善他們的生活質量和提供更安全，更滿意的老化到位。

Abstract:
Computers and the Internet offer older adults opportunities and resources for independent living.
However, many urban older adults do not use computers.
This study examined the demographic, health, and social activities of urban older adults to determine variables that might predict the use and nonuse of computers in this population.
A secondary data analysis was performed using the 2001 Detroit City-Wide Needs Assessment of Older Adults (n = 1410) data set.
Logistic regression was used to explore potential differences in predictor variables between computer users and nonusers.
Overall, computer users were younger (27%), had a higher level of education, were more likely to be employed, had an annual income greater than $20 000, and were healthier and more active than nonusers.
They also were more likely to have memberships in community organizations and do volunteer work.
Preferred computer activities included conducting Internet searches, playing games, writing, and communicating with family members and friends.
The results suggest significant differences in demographic and health-related characteristics between computer users and nonusers among urban older adults.
Although about a quarter of participants in this study used computers, the Digital Divide continues to exist in urban settings for scores of others.

Logistic回歸來探討潛在的預測變量之間的差異和非使用者的電腦用戶。
總體而言，計算機用戶都年輕（27％），有較高水平的教育，更有可能被聘用，有一個年收入超過 $ 20萬，並更加積極健康，比非使用者。
他們也更可能有成員在社區組織做志願者工作。
首選電腦活動包括開展互聯網搜索，玩遊戲，寫作和溝通與家人和朋友。
結果顯示顯著差異是在人口和健康相關特性的計算機用戶和非使用者在城市老年人。
雖然約四分之一參加這項研究使用電腦，數字鴻溝依然存在，在城市環境中的分數等。

Abstract:
Purpose of review
To identify and discuss recent research studies that propose innovative psychosocial interventions in old age psychiatry.
Recent findings
Studies have shown that cognitive training research for healthy elderly has advanced in several ways, particularly in the refinement of study design and methodology. Studies have included larger samples and longer training protocols. Interestingly, new research has shown changes in biological markers associated with learning and memory after cognitive training. Among mild cognitive impairment patients, results have demonstrated that they benefit from interventions displaying cognitive plasticity.
Rehabilitation studies involving dementia patients have suggested the efficacy of combined treatment approaches, and light and music therapies have shown promising effects. For psychiatric disorders, innovations have included improvements in well known techniques such as cognitive behavior therapy, studies in subpopulations with comorbidities, as well as the use of new computer-aided resources.
Summary
Research evidence on innovative interventions in old age psychiatry suggests that this exciting field is moving forward by means of methodological refinements and testing of creative new ideas.

Abstract:
Video user-created content (video UCC) is currently being spotlighted by business practitioners and researchers.
However, little consideration is being made on elderly people's adoption of this innovative service.
This paper highlights this issue of elderly online users and discovers the factors affecting their participation decisions in video UCC services.
This study introduces elderly-specific constructs such as perceived physical condition (physical age), life course events (psycho-social age), perceived user resources, prior similar experience, and computer anxiety, each reflecting the complex aging process.
Then, the relationship between these constructs and the conventional constructs from the technology acceptance model (TAM) (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and compatibility) is hypothesized and tested.
Data was collected from 290 online users older than 50 years of age.
The results show that elderly people are not highly resistant to change and will adopt video UCC if some conditions are satisfied.
In addition, elderly-specific variables could be good antecedents for conventional TAM constructs, while having direct effects on the intention construct for some cases (perceived physical condition, life course events, and perceived user resources).
We believe the implications of this study are important for both researchers and practitioners.(C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

然而，很少考慮正在就老人的通過這一創新服務。
本文強調了這一問題的在線用戶，發現老人的因素影響其參與決策的視頻 UCC的服務。
本研究介紹了老人的具體構造，如自覺身體狀況（實際年齡），生命歷程事件（社會心理年齡），知覺的用戶資源，以前類似的經驗，電腦焦慮，分別反映了複雜的衰老過程。
然後，這些結構之間的關係和傳統構造的技術接受模型（TAM）（知覺易用性，知覺有用性，知覺的享受，和兼容性）是假設和測試。
收集的數據來自 290在線用戶年齡超過 50歲。
結果表明，老年人並不高抗改變，並會採取視頻 UCC的，如果某些條件得到滿足。
此外，老人特定的變數可能是個好前因常規譚構造，而有直接影響的打算興建某些情況下（自覺身體狀況，生活事件的過程，與知覺的用戶資源）。
我們相信，這項研究的影響是重要的研究人員和從業人員。

Abstract: There is an increasing demand on citizens to participate in social network websites and to create and share their own user-generated content (UGC), such as photographs, videos, and blogs. So far, little is known about how elderly people respond to these new trends and master the techniques required. This paper reports on three studies that investigated elderly people's user requirements related to consumption, sharing and co-creation of UGC in new media. The first study, conducted in Norway, identifies patterns of Internet usage, age differences, and participation in online communities and the consumption, sharing and co-creation of UGC on a macro level. The second study, conducted in Belgium, investigated the social requirements of elderly people on a group level. The third study, also conducted in Belgium. investigated user and context requirements on an individual level. The results of the first study show that the elderly rarely participate in online communities and share audio-visual UGC. However, they embrace some aspects of the new media and more often express themselves politically. The results of the second study show that the elderly are very motivated to contribute with UGC, given the right circumstances. The results of the third study show that it is important for elderly people that they be able to use the new technologies easily and identifies their worries about using them. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: The study reported in this paper investigated the usefulness of different instructions for guiding inexperienced older adults through interactive systems. It was designed to compare different media in relation to their social as well as their motivational impact on the elderly during the learning process. Precisely, the video was compared with textual help and the impact of model age (young versus old) on knowledge acquisition was explored. As a research object, a simulated ticket-vending machine was used. Results show that video-supported knowledge acquisition is better than text, but in relation to model age, no significant differences were found.

Abstract: This paper presents a new multi-disciplinary method for user needs analysis and requirements specification in the context of health information systems based on established theories from the fields of participatory design and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW). Whereas conventional methods imply a separate, sequential needs analysis for each profession, the "multi-disciplinary thematic seminar" (MdTS) method uses a collaborative design process. Application of the method in elderly homecare resulted in prototypes that were well adapted to the intended user groups. Vital information in the points of intersection between different care professions was elicited and a holistic view of the entire care process was obtained. Health informatics-usability specialists and clinical domain experts are necessary to apply the method. Although user needs acquisition can be time-consuming, MdTS was perceived to efficiently identify in-context user needs, and transformed these directly into requirements specifications. Consequently the method was perceived to expedite the entire ICT implementation process. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract: An important issue of the demographic change in the German population is the maintenance and promotion of the employability of aging workforces. However, there are hardly any suitable concepts or usable tools available to realize this goal. Possible approaches should push the individual strengths of the aging workers to the foreground and intercept the possible physical and cognitive losses in ability that occur with an increase in age. The computer thus plays an important role due to a continuous increase in mechanization. An age-based, individual adaptive user interface shall be developed to support the elderly in working with the computer. Basics for such an interface will be presented in this paper. First connections between user characteristics and adaptation dimensions were analyzed in a study with 90 subjects ranging from 20 to 73 years of age and will be presented in this article. Results indicate a significant influence of graphical layout on memorization as well as interpretation performance.

Abstract: Wireless telephones and personal digital assistants are emerging, as the information hubs connect their human users with assorted electronic devices and the World Wide Web. As such, they quickly become the de facto basis for personalized information services. The Kannon project team at the National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in Taiwan is developing a ubiquitous service infrastructure for elders' healthcare support. Among their deliverables, there is a PDA Phone, christened Health Pal, which can communicate with Bluetooth/ZigBee devices, universal plug-and-play (UPnP) e-home service platforms, and online healthcare providers to offer 24/7 healthcare services to elderly people. This paper presents the early results of this effort including the functional and operational concepts of Health Pal as well as the activity-oriented approach of its design. Preliminary results of its usefulness and usability evaluations are reported. A comparison of this platform against several similar prototypes was also included to illustrate the advantage of applying activity-oriented design approach to human-computer interactions.

Abstract: The purpose of the current research was to test the psychological impact of learning how to use computers and the Internet in old age, hypothesizing that such activities would contribute to seniors' well- being and personal sense of empowerment. Employing a quasi- experimental research design, we offered a course, conducted in small groups, in computer operation and Internet browsing to 22 older adults ( mean age of 80) who went to day- care centers for the elderly or resided in nursing homes. A comparison group of 26 participants ( similar in all major respects) was engaged in other activities. Both groups were administered measures of physical functioning, life satisfaction, depression, loneliness and self- control at pre- and post- intervention four months later. Individual semi- structured interviews were conducted with participants who finished the computer course. ANCOVA was employed for controlling the effects of control variables and pre- intervention differences on participants who completed the activities. Results showed a significant improvement among participants in the intervention group in all measures except physical functioning, whereas deterioration in all measures was detected in the comparison group. Computer and Internet use seems to contribute to older adults' well- being and sense of empowerment by affecting their interpersonal interactions, promoting their cognitive functioning and contributing to their experience of control and independence.

Abstract: In this article, themost relevant literature on cognitive aging and instructional design is merged to formulate recommendations for designing computer-based training material aimed at elderly learners. The core message is that researchers and instructional designers do not need to develop special computerized instruction for older adults. Rather, existing principles of general instructional and multimedia design can be evaluated and used to accommodate the needs of elderly learners. Particular attention is given to John Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and Richard Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). It is argued that these instructional theories bear important benefits for older learners because they support an efficient use of available cognitive resources. New research directions are suggested to test the implications of these theories for learning in old age.

Abstract: The elderly are the fastest growing population group. Along with their rise in numbers is their volume of use of health care services, in both number and intensity. Since many elderly live alone, can their independence be maintained such that health care costs can decrease? With the rise in technology utilization, specifically the Internet, can the elderly utilize the Internet for health care purposes? Survey methodologies conducted for this study showed that the elderly can learn to use computers and are looking for methods to stay connected and be informed. Further longitudinal research is needed to measure clinical outcomes.

Abstract: As computer networking becomes increasingly important, it is crucial to examine how this technology is used by the older generation. The present inquiry considers the nature and meaning of elder participation in cyberspace and the degree to which computer-mediated communication increases the social capital of older adults. The study compares 10 elder computer participants and 10 nonparticipants by means of open-ended interviews. Three primary themes emerged from the interviews. The first concerns the different conceptions of old age held by the cyber-participants and the nonparticipants, and in particular, differing views on learning capacity in later life. The second is related to the varying conceptions of time in old age, and orientation to the past or to the future. The third theme relates to the way in which the elderly persons involved in the virtual world relate to their computer, attributing human qualities to this new addition to their social network.

Abstract: Two prominent trends are simultaneously occurring in our society today: the aging of our population and an increased reliance on computers. Through a federal grant, Iowa Legal Aid provides computers in 85 rural senior citizen centers across Iowa to foster increased knowledge about program services for the elderly and to enhance their social connectedness with others through e-mail. To understand the attitudes of rural elderly toward computers, focus groups were held with two groups in the community senior centers. The results identified strategies that are necessary if seniors are to maximize the use of computers available to them. This article has three purposes: (1) to review the literature regarding computer usage among the elderly; (2) to describe the findings of focus groups held with elderly; and (3) to identify strategies to enhance computer use in senior citizen centers and maximize the connectivity of elders in their communities.

Abstract: Making information technology (IT) more accessible to elderly users is an important objective, in particular, concerning input devices. In this study, it has been investigated how the aging factor and the letter (character) size of a keyboard affects the efficiency in data entry. In addition, computer experience by the elderly was examined relative to efficiency. The performance measures (entry speed and correctly entered number per min) were twice better in a young group of computer users than in middle-aged and elderly groups. The effect of the size of the keyboard letters on performance was observed for the middle-aged and elderly groups who had no experience using a computer. The young, middle-aged, and elderly groups with computer experience were not affected by the size of the keyboard letters.

Abstract: Older Americans, like other groups, vary in their use of the Internet. The participants for this study--elderly computer users from a Midwestern mid-size sample--used e-mail and considered it the most important Internet function. It was common for them to use e-mail with family and friends on a regular, if not daily, basis. When this group of older people did surf the Web, they were more likely to seek information about their special interests rather than visiting mass media sites. They were most likely to use Google.com or Yahoo.com to find sites dealing with weather, health, games, jokes, and entertainment. Additionally, some were interested in online shopping and auctions. The results of this exploratory study suggest the need for radio and television stations's websites to serve as a portal through which elderly users may access information they want and need.

Abstract: Elderly people in Japan are becoming part of virtual communities. This article explores the online experience of such people, how they interact with others and how they construct social support relationships via computer-mediated communication (CMC). This ethnographic research, through participant observation and in-depth interviews, reveals that these elderly people enjoy interaction in a variety of language forms, ranging from haiku to emoticons, by combining traditional text-based Japanese culture with a new virtual culture, despite the limitations of text-based communication. Also, both the immediacy and asynchrony of CMC helps them to construct real human relationships in the virtual community, including social connectedness to others as well as supportive and companionship relationships. The elderly people could create a sense of greater propinquity by sharing their old stories and memories.

Abstract: This work examined the hypothesis that elderly people are less confident than young people in their own computer knowledge. This was done by having 49 young (M = 22.6 years) and 42 older (M = 68.6 years) participants to assess their global self-efficacy beliefs and to make item-by-item prospective (feeling-of-knowing: FOK) and retrospective (confidence level: CL) judgments about their knowledge in the two domains of computers and general knowledge. The latter served as a control domain. Item difficulty was equated across age groups in each domain. In spite of this age equivalence in actual performance, differences were found in FOK and CL ratings for computers but not for general knowledge, with older people being less confident than young people in their own computer knowledge. The greater age difference in ratings observed in the computer domain, as compared with the general domain, was even greater for the FOK than for the CL judgments. Statistical control of age differences in global self-efficacy beliefs in the computer domain (poorer in the older participants, but not in the general domain), eliminated age differences in FOK and CL judgments in the same domain. These findings confirm earlier ones. They suggest that underconfidence in their relevant abilities is one possible source of the difficulties that the elderly may encounter in mastering new computer technologies.

Abstract: This study examined the effects of aging on performance and preferences for two computer pointing devices (e.g. mouse and trackball). Participants made simple point-and-click and click-and-drag movements to targets of varying distance (96 and 192 mm) and widths (3, 6 and 12 mm). The results show that older adults (mean age = 70) moved more slowly than younger adults (mean age = 32), particularly for distant targets, yet their movements were less variable. No age differences were found in movement time or variable error between the two devices. EMG (RMS) recordings from the forearm flexor and extensor muscles showed no age related differences in between mouse and trackball. However, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) indicated that older adults perceived greater levels of exertion than younger adults when using the mouse during click-and-drag tasks. Given the reduced grip and pinch force of older adults, manipulation of the mouse and trackball required a greater percentage of their maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) compared to younger adults. In addition, the mouse requires a larger range of motion than the trackball. These findings in conjunction with the RPE results imply that the trackball may confer greater benefit for the older computer user.

Abstract: This study investigated age-related differences in user performance and preferences using two widely available computer pointing devices, a mouse and trackball. Participants acquired on-screen targets of varying distance and size using point-and-click and click-and-drag motions. It was found that older adults took longer to complete movements than younger adults and did so to a greater extent for large amplitude movements, but that their movements were less variable. There was no age difference in movement time or variable error between the two devices. It has been hypothesized that the findings reflected the adoption of a device independent movement strategy by the elderly designed to compensate for age-related declines in, motor control. Analysis of muscle activity (RMS) of the forearm flexor and extensor showed,ed no age-related differences in muscle activity. Ratings of perceived extertion revealed that older adults reported higher levels of exertion than younger adults using the mouse during click-and-drag motions. In light of findings demonstrating that older adults have lower strength, this finding implies that the mouse requires a greater percentage of the elderlys' maximum force. These results taken together suggest that the trackball may be a better device for the elderly computer user especially when performing frequent, repetitive actions for prolonged periods of time.

摘要：本研究調查與年齡有關的差異表現在用戶和喜好使用兩種廣泛使用的計算機定點設備，鼠標和軌跡球。與會者獲得屏幕上的目標距離和大小的不同使用指向並點擊和點擊和拖動動作。結果發現，老年人需要較長的時間才能完成動作比年輕的成年人和這樣做是為了在更大程度上為大振幅運動，但他們的動作不太變量。有沒有年齡差異在運動時或變量兩個設備之間的誤差。據推測，該調查結果反映了通過一個設備獨立運動策略，旨在彌補老人與年齡有關的跌幅，電機控制。分析肌肉活動（有效值）的前臂屈肌和伸肌顯示，教育署沒有與年齡有關的差異，肌肉的活動。評分知覺 extertion報告顯示，老年人的更高水平的發揮比年輕的成年人在使用鼠標點擊和拖動動作。鑑於調查結果表明老年人有較低的強度，這一發現意味著，鼠標需要一個更大的百分比的elderlys'最大的力量。這些結果表明，合計軌跡球可能是一個更好的設備和計算機用戶，特別是當老人表演頻繁，長時間重複動作的時間。

Abstract: We studied the effects of playing video games (Super Tetris) on the reaction time, cognitive/perceptual adaptability, and emotional well-being of 22 non-institutionalized elderly people aged 69 to 90. Volunteers in an elderly community in the Netherlands were randomly assigned to a videogame-playing experimental group or a non-playing control group. The televisions of the 10 videogame players were provided with Nintendo SuperNes systems. Participants played Super Tetris 5 hours a week for 5 weeks, and maintained a log of their play. Before and after this play period, measures of reaction time (Sternberg Test), cognitive/perceptual adaptability (Stroop Color Word Test), and emotional well-being (self-report questionnaire) were administered. Playing video games was related to a significant improvement in the Sternberg reaction time task, and to a relative increase in self-reported well-being. On the Stroop Color Word Test, both the experimental and control groups improved significantly, but the difference between groups was not statistically significant. The videogame-playing group had faster reaction times and felt a more positive sense of well-being compared to their nonplaying counterparts. Consistent with previous research on video games and the elderly, the present study finds the strongest effects on measures of reaction time, and the weakest effects on cognitive performance measures. Explanations and alternative interpretations of these findings are discussed.
