The overarching goal of this task is to explore the relationship, mediated by design, that exists between individuals, their built environment (at home and in the neighbourhood), and the increasing diversity in smart technologies including smart homes, digital platforms, smartphones, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), domestic robots, and neighbourhood - or city-scale digital services. Giving due consideration to what is meant by ‘smart’ in the context of a multigenerational neighbourhood, and what impact does/can this have on social, behavioural and design aspects of healthy ageing, to develop a person-centric view of what technologies are needed to facilitate and support healthy ‘agile’ ageing at the community level, and to inform co-production of viable applications. In essence, this report aims to demonstrate that fostering older adults’ dignity, worth and security, as valued members of a technologically enabled modern society, requires fundamental shifts – not just in our actions , but in how we think and feel towards age and ageing.enAgeing IndividualsHealthy Livingreport
