Berridge and Colleagues Publish Research on the Role of AI & Technology in Supporting Aging Populations
Posted: 9/29/2023 ()
CSDE Affiliate Clara Berridge and co-authors recently published two articles on technology use to support an aging population. The first article, “AI Companion Robot Data Sharing: Preferences of an Online Cohort and Policy Implications” is featured in the Journal of Elder Policy, where authors report peoples’ perspectives on small AI companion robots for older adults, along with attendant issues related to facial expression and conversation data collection and sharing. The second, “How I want technology used in my care: Learning from documented choices of people living with dementia using a dyadic decision making tool” is published by the journal Informatics for Health and Social Care, where they draw on the perspectives of people living with dementia. While technologies for aging in place are promoted to support care partners and people living with dementia, perspectives of people living with dementia are underrepresented in both use decisions among families and discussions within academia and industry.
