Request for survey participants

 To older adults, caregivers, care providers and others who provide care to older adults,

We need your help to identify research priorities on aging and technology that are most important in your area.

Share the most important questions (or concerns) about aging and technology in your community for future research to address.

Keeping up with services to support our aging population has been challenging. Digital technologies (such as virtual care platforms, virtual hospitals, or electronic access to health records) offer new ways to address care needs but those without the necessary digital literacy skills and technologies are unable to benefit. It is important to include people living in smaller cities and rural and remote areas in research because integrating diverse perspectives is essential for building better digital health solutions and services.

Together with community partners across Vancouver Island North (including Comox Valley, Strathcona and Mount Waddington Regional Districts) and Aging Together Lab at UVic, our project aims to identify and prioritize key areas of focus on aging and technology that matters most to older adults. We want to amplify voices of older adults, caregivers, care providers and other community to drive research and research funding to address priorities that matter most to the community.
