CREATE Overview

The Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE) focuses on a diverse set of topics relevant to enhancing technology design for older adults.

The aims of CREATE are to:

  • Conduct research aimed at developing, implementing, and evaluating
    technology–based solutions that:
    • support cognitive health and engagement among aging adults with and without cognitive impairments.
    • enhance interpersonal support and social engagement among aging adults.
    • enhance the ability of older adults to engage in health management activities.
  • Provide interdisciplinary training and research opportunities to students and junior scientists.
  • Broadly disseminate the findings, protocols, and tools of CREATE to a
    worldwide audience of researchers, the business and design community, and older adults.
