Towards Aligning IT and Daily Routines of Older Adults

• Different IT solutions exist for supporting older adults. However, the ways in which these solutions are positioned usually concern only specific activities or specific problems. In this paper we analyze the current research state regarding activities of older adults, the contexts of their activities, and supportive IT solutions to create a background for further investigations regarding alignment of IT solutions and daily routines of older adults. The paper presents illustrative mapping between older adult activities and IT solution categories and derives therefrom some aspects that are to be taken into account for successful alignment between IT solutions and daily routines of older adults.
