This multi-disciplinary collection of essays captures discussion,
thinking and research surrounding the recent surge of interest in
how technology can help us as we age. A wide range of topics are
covered, from investigations in the use of technology to improve
health and well-being, to examinations of digital gaming, mobile
health apps and the quantified self in relation to an ageing
population. From multi-disciplinary perspectives, this collection
highlights the role of a more social approach to technology. As
such, a variety of social research methods are used throughout the
chapters. The benefits and issues with different approaches are
highlighted both in terms of further research, but also so the
reader can judge the value of the research for themselves. This
collection brings together the latest thinking and cutting edge
contemporary research from leading thinkers and academics in the
field of human computer interaction, health and gerontology. In
taking a social approach, it highlights how technological practices
fit within wider gerontological, political and cultural
perspectives. It therefore has potential to influence those working
in human computer interaction, digital humanities, sociology,
psychology and gerontology. It can help change the practice of
people working in the health and social care field, in computer and
product design, and in the digital and creative industries.
