Abstract
This thesis explores the development of a web-based accessibility tool designed for older adults, focusing on increasing their independence and social participation Using a user-centred design study implementation, the study addresses the implementation and accessibility challenges that often prevent the use of technologies in older adults that simulated technologies can offer users satisfaction and engagement have improved significantly. Despite the positive results, challenges related to digital literacy and physical disabilities remain. This indicates the need for continuous improvement. Recommendations for future work include personal characteristics. Expanded data analysis and improved communication support services. This project demonstrates the power of technology to transform care for the elderly. And emphasizes the need for continuous adaptation to meet the changing needs of the elderly.
Description
The integration of advanced technology in the field of elderly care plays an important role in improving the quality of life of the elderly. This is because the number of elderly people continues to increase. Expanding technological answers to meet real needs is therefore important. This project proposes the introduction of an accessible, internet- based accessibility tool specially designed for older users. The goal is to foster independence and mobility, consequently enhancing their ordinary well-being (Harvey & Griffin, 2020). Older adults frequently stumble upon demanding situations in adopting new technology because of factors like constrained publicity, perceived complexity, and issues over privacy and protection. The expected net answer will feature user-friendly interfaces, real-time assistance, and robust security features to make certain a secure experience. Integrating their feedback to refine the system. Yusif, Soar and Hafeez-Baig, (2016) emphasizes the importance of designing technology that is consistent with the choices and needs of older people. This ensures that the device is effective and widely accepted (Yusif, Soar & Hafeez-Baig, 2016) by using direct user input. This initiative seeks to provide products that do not just meet their simplest needs but exceed their expectations. Therefore, it improves participation within the network and reduces the social isolation associated with normal ageing. Additionally, web-based solutions are expected to have user-friendly interfaces. Real-time help and strong security measures to ensure a safe and easy experience. This initiative seeks to integrate the suggestions and preferences of senior citizens into the development process. By combining in-depth information This project intends to provide products that not only meet but exceed individual expectations. Therefore, it will promote greater participation. and reduce the social isolation that regularly comes with aging. In the end, this project highlights the power of technology in redesigning care for the elderly. especially by facilitating greater freedom and forward mobility. This study has also explored how the proposed answer can address the unique technological barriers faced by older adults with expertise in usage, access, and protection. Our goal is to expand a comprehensive system that combines the best technological features. and is simple enough for older adults to navigate effectively. Additionally, using real-time assistance and a user-friendly design, the system ensures that users can make informed decisions about their transportation needs. This contributes to total freedom. This technology project emphasizes the importance of creating technology that responds to the unique situations and needs this population faces while simultaneously improving their daily lives.
