Older adults tend to encounter challenges when learning to use new smartphone apps due to age-related cognitive and physical changes. Compared to traditional support methods such as video tutorials, trial-and-error allows older adults to…
The global aging trend compels older adults to navigate the evolving digital landscape, presenting a substantial challenge in mastering smartphone applications. While Augmented Reality (AR) holds promise for enhancing learning and user…
Maintaining physical activity is essential for older adults' health and well-being, yet participation remains low. Traditional paper-based and in-person interventions have been effective but face scalability issues. Smartphone apps offer a…
Seniors represent a growing user base for mobile applications; however, many apps fail to adequately address their accessibility challenges and usability preferences. To investigate this issue, we conducted an exploratory focus group study…
Accessibility assessments typically focus on determining a binary measurement of task performance success/failure; and often neglect to acknowledge the nuances of those interactions. Although a large population of blind people find…
Over the past few years, older adults in Singapore have been massively connecting to the Internet using Smartphone. However due to the ever-changing nature of Technology and Cybersecurity landscape, an older adult's limited technical and…
Computer Anxiety is a phenomenon studied in multiple contexts and, in the actual COVID-19 scenario, it is gaining more and more importance as it impacts technology adoption and autonomy. People with Computer Anxiety (PwCA) might feel…
The iPhone was introduced only a decade ago in 2007 but has fundamentally changed the way we interact with online information. Mobile devices differ radically from classic command-based and point-and-click user interfaces, now allowing for…
Motivated by the need to emulate workload execution characteristics on high-performance and distributed heterogeneous resources, we introduce Synapse. Synapse is used as a proxy application (or "representative application") for real…
Mass emergencies increasingly pose significant threats to human life, with a disproportionate burden being incurred by older adults. Research has explored how mobile technology can mitigate the effects of mass emergencies. However, less…
