• The Role of Sensory Changes in Everyday Technology use by People with Mild to Moderate Dementia

  Emma Dixon, Amanda Lazar · 2020 · Proceedings of the 22nd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2020)

  This qualitative study investigates how sensory changes associated with dementia interact with everyday technology use — a topic almost entirely overlooked in prior research, which has focused predominantly on cognitive support such as memory aids, task simplification, and…

• Supporting Older Adults in Locating Mobile Interface Features with Voice Input

  Ja Eun Yu, Debaleena Chattopadhyay · 2020 · Proceedings of the 22nd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2020)

  This demonstration paper presents a voice assistant system built on Android that helps older adults locate specific features on complex mobile interfaces by speaking natural language queries. The system addresses a well-documented challenge: older adults struggle to find…

• A Mobile Cloud Collaboration Fall Detection System Based on Ensemble Learning

  Tong Wu, Yang Gu, Yiqiang Chen, Jiwei Wang, Siyu Zhang · 2020 · Proceedings of the 22nd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This paper addresses fall detection for older adults, which the WHO identifies as the second leading cause of accidental injury death worldwide. Roughly 28-35% of people over 65 experience falls each year, with the rate increasing to 32-42% for those over 70. The authors propose…

• A Comparison of Touchscreen and Mouse for Real-World and Abstract Tasks with Older Adults

  Sung-Hee Kim, Kailun Zhang, Joanna McGrenere, Kellogg S. Booth, Claudia Jacova · 2020 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This study investigates whether input device choice (touchscreen vs. mouse) affects performance on computerized cognitive tests for older adults, with implications for the C-TOC (Cognitive Testing on Computer) project developing self-administered online cognitive screening. As…

• Critical Reflections on Technology to Support Physical Activity among Older Adults: An Exploration of Leading HCI Venues

  Kathrin Gerling, Mo Ray, Vero Vanden Abeele, Adam B. Evans · 2020 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This critical review examines how "active ageing" policy discourse has influenced HCI research on technology supporting physical activity for older adults. Through a structured search of leading HCI venues (1997-2017), the authors identified 22 papers representing 18 unique…
