Abstract

[EN] The objective of this thesis was to explore how modern technologies fail in being adopted by older people; the issues that come with older age, and how current technology is proving unable to solve or ease the problems faced by elderly people. Drawing conclusions from this analysis, accessible and adequate design choices for the elderly were studied in order to build a prototype. Based on the study, choices were made trying to balance different factors such as the scope of the project, available parts and time constraints. The last step was to analyze on goal completion and any improvements for better achieving this thesis goals. Also, interesting features that were not included due to constraints were listed.
