I'm pleased to share a new publication in the Journal of Applied Gerontology led by Natalie Tham from our @visuAAL_ITN team at the @TCPHI_TCD

https://t.co/98KJFp30hq

The paper investigates why older adults tend to delay accepting camera-based active and assisted living (AAL) technologies, and identifies future self-continuity (the sense of psychological connectedness to one's future self) as a key driver of acceptance. Key findings include:

• Older adults with a more vivid and positive image of their future selves are significantly more likely to accept AAL technologies, as they better recognise the long-term benefits these technologies offer.

• Lower future self-continuity leads to underweighting those long-term benefits, helping explain why older adults so often postpone acceptance.

• The findings point toward developing future interventions to move beyond usability and practical barriers to also support older adults in building a stronger psychological connection with their future selves.

• Acceptance-facilitating interventions should prioritise helping older adults envision their future selves more vividly and positively, rather than focusing on how similar they feel to their future self.

Great work by Natalie and the team, a novel and important contribution to the technology acceptance literature.

New publication – Our recent protocol paper on the @SEURO Effectiveness-Implementation Hybrid trial of the @ProACT2020 platform: https://t.co/rmR8x1cRAn

The trial evaluates ProACT’s impact on self-management for older adults with multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and its feasibility for EU-wide deployment. #DigitalHealth #multimorbidity

Why do people respond differently to digital health self-management tools? Our latest @SEURO2020 publication explores why some adopt these technologies quickly, while others need extra human support or non-technical alternatives.

The study focuses on older adults with multimorbidity using a digital self-management platform over nine months. Through interviews with 42 participants, researchers identified six key themes and four distinct user types.

By understanding these user types, we can better tailor digital self-management tools to meet individual needs, paving the way for more personalised and effective health support.

For those involved in #dementia #Alzheimers care and research - the InterAct project led by @HChristie_ @TCPHI_TCD @tcddublin in collaboration with @MaastrichtU will host the following event below:

𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿: "𝗦𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵"

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻? 26 September 2024 at 16:00-17:00 CEST/15:00-16:00 GMT+1.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? Online

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁? SPREAD+ consortium researchers Dr Hannah Christie and Dr Tineke Roelofs will provide useful insights for clinical practice and improving quality of life in dementia. They will adress the often-overlooked aspects of sexuality and intimacy in dementia care. Understanding and addressing the sexual and intimate needs of individuals with dementia is essential for providing holistic and person-centered care.

The webinar will be in English. Please share.

Nearly a decade ago I first brought together an EU consortium to focus on #multimorbidity #digitalhealth #ageing. In a recent interview with @tcddublin #ResearchMatters I discuss the journey so far working with such incredibly talented people to drive these fields forward.

5 innovations from this work across @ProACT2020 @SEURO2020 1) a platform for multimorbidity self management (ProACT) 2) tools to support services to transfer digital health solutions in practice (ProTransfer & ProBCF-C) 3) an AI to assess the impact of a digital health solution on health service performance (patient/ economic outcomes - ProInsight) and 5) a secure knowledge based platform to support the development of advanced data analytics (InterACT) have recently been selected for the EU innovation radar portfolio (high potential innovations from EU research).
