Old Age

Technology brings together the elderly, not only in terms of remote assistance and telemonitoring, but also as a means of re-socialization by staving off loneliness and isolation.
The difficulty older users find in operating a basic PC is primarily due to declining physical capabilities, such as visual-motor coordination and hand-eye coordination, which affect the normal use of a keyboard and a mouse.

This obstacle can be overcome by using a simple touch-screen. The interactive touch-screen allows for the management of various tasks.
Another major problem that impedes the enjoyment and understanding of a normal PC is the vast gulf between the knowledge of the elderly and today’s overcomplicated computers. iAble® has a very simple, intuitive and easy-to-use interface:

» Limited sublevels for the execution of tasks, a dispensation of excessive sequential operations;

» Simple steps, displaying the actions to be taken in sequential order, so as to reduce mnemonic effort;

» Presence of explanatory icons that make understanding of the meaning of a command immediate.
