“We face an unprecedented demand on social and healthcare services. Mobile technology has the potential to play a key role in addressing this challenge. Often phones and smartphones are seen as the ideal platform for providing services in this area. We have to understand the specific needs and issues faced by older users to realize this potential! Today people who would benefit the most from such services are the least able to access them.” Which underlying problems do older people experience? How can these can be addressed? e.g. turning a phone on, complexity of menu systems and touch interfaces.” Ian Hosking
