Older adults living in retirement homes are no longer wanting to be left out from learning about using digital technologies such as smart tablets to improve their health and wellbeing. It may be time to take a look at strategies that will help them engaged and learn about digital technology, But how do you go about doing this? Building one-on-one relationships with community members is one of the most rewarding and impactful parts of leading a community program. In this session, the presenter will share the practical aspects of conducting community projects that can also be a research project. In a current project named “Smart Education for Healthy Living,” older adults living in retirement home benefitted from workshops on how to use smart tablets for accessing reliable health information.
