Welcome to The Health Aging and Technology Lab
Designing technology that is useful and accessible as people age
We are experts in technology and user-centered design, and we know that older adults, especially people with cognitive challenges, want technology relevant to their needs – technology for enjoying life, staying independent, and connecting with others.
Through carefully listening to users, the THAT lab team identifies ways to make technology that works better for older adults.
