Supporting medical communication with a multimodal surface computer

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

This research explores the utility of a multimodal surface computer for supporting medical communication between older adults and health care providers. Research involves a field study of health care communication practices, the design of a multimodal surface computer application, and an in-context evaluation of the technology at a local retirement community.
