AIM
Turntable aims to address the co-challenges of vitality and ability amongst older adults (65 years and over) though an extendable one-stop-shop ICT platform (Turntable) integrating a range of solutions.
As we age, we tend to be more sedentary, less active, and less willing to engage with new technologies. These trends worsen normal age-related decline, both physical and cognitive. As muscle mass, grip strength and power decline, falls become more frequent and dangerous, and everyday tasks become more intimidating. These changes interfere with diet and nutritional status, because shopping and cooking become more challenging, as well as participation in social activities.
Users (primary – over 65 years adults; secondary – informal and formal carers and care organisations, social clubs, etc.; and tertiary – mobile network operators and insurance companies, for example) will be involved at all stages in platform development including: selection of components (co-creation sessions), integration and adaptation to user needs (usability testing), and testing (field trials, open beta). This approach will ensure that Turntable is fit-for-purpose, adopted widely and is sustainable.
