As simple and straightforward as two health professionals
conferring over the telephone or as complex and sophisticated as
robotic surgery between facilities at different ends of the globe,
telehealth is an increasingly frequent component in healthcare. A
primer on the human factors issues that can influence how older
adults interact with telehealth systems, Designing Telehealth for
an Aging Population: A Human Factors Perspective examines the new
ways patients and healthcare providers communicate to achieve the
same or better outcomes than with traditional face-to-face
healthcare. The authors examine older adult capabilities and
provide standards and guidelines for telehealth design, enlivened
by clinical examples and tutorials on human factors methodologies.
They take a systematic look at how the use of human factors
principles can facilitate the successful development, deployment,
and maintenance of telehealth technology to better serve the aging
population. The authors have carefully stayed away from academic
writing, distilling their experience in the form of basic
observations and principles drawn from their work. They include
suggested readings at the end of each chapter that supply the
research underpinning their recommendations. The first reference to
cover older adult users in an area that will only get bigger, this
book sets itself apart by providing focused coverage of the human
factors issues specific to aging populations and practical advice
on how to accommodate them.
