Improving Indoor
Environments for Older Adults
Matteo Zallio, M.Arch, PhD
Fulbright
Scholar |
Abstract: As the world's
population ages and internet-connected devices proliferate, older adults are
facing increasing difficulties understanding and using these new technologies.
Assistive Technology, Ergonomics, and Usability principles can be applied to
create friendlier interfaces and interactions. This lecture will offer an
overview of the main challenges as well as guidelines and examples for
designing accessible and inclusive indoor environments for older adults,
including state-of-the-art sensing technologies and ways to demystify
technology issues.
Biosketch: Dr. Matteo Zallio, is a Fulbright Scholar
at Stanford University. Previously a research fellow at the Dublin Institute of
Technology (DIT), he is an Italian award-winning architect and designer. Dr.
Zallio, after earning a PhD from University of Genova (IT) and Loughborough
University (UK), joined the Environmental Sustainability and Health Institute
at DIT and focused his research and work on User Experience Design as a tool
for improving people’s quality of life. During his career he has developed
two patent applications, received six international awards, and has been a
guest lecturer and speaker worldwide.
Current
research activities include:
