Researchers with FSU’s Institute for Successful Longevity are part of a consortium awarded $14.7 million by the National Institute on Aging to work with emerging and existing technologies to promote the well-being, quality of life, and independence of older adults.
Walter Boot, Neil Charness, and Shayok Chakraborty are the FSU portion of the CREATE consortium. One CREATE project will look at using virtual reality technology to foster cognitive and social engagement among aging adults. Another will focus on using innovative technologies to assess cognitive decline in those with mild cognitive impairment. The third will focus on developing digital assistant tools to help older adults with cognitive impairments manage tasks such as enrolling in Medicare.
