Remember when: development of an interactive reminiscence device

Published: 02 April 2005 Publication History

Abstract

THE use of technology has become increasingly widespread across the globe. Findings from a feasibility study for the proposed device suggests that a population of 45-65 year olds are experienced using technology. Therefore this experience will be carried through to old age facilitating the use of emerging technologies, such as a technology driven reminiscence device. Furthermore a case study revealed that stimulation may aid communication amongst elderly people. A technology based reminiscence device is proposed as a means of facilitating communication creating bonds among elderly people. This reminiscence device in turn should alleviate loneliness by initiating conversation between elderly people. The proposed device is targeted at elderly people living in a nursing home, elderly people living alone and as a tool for care workers.
