Improving Home
Environments for Older Adults
Matteo Zallio, M.Arch, PhD
Fulbright
Scholar |
Abstract: As the world's
population ages and new services and technologies proliferate, older adults are
facing increasing difficulties understanding and using these new technologies.
While Assistive Technology has the potential to improve their quality of life
and increase their independence, older adults may find it difficult to identify
truly beneficial solutions.
This lecture will offer an overview of
the main challenges that older adults face and provide critical knowledge on
successful design techniques through numerous examples and a discussion of
guidelines for shaping inclusive environments.
Biosketch: Dr. Matteo Zallio is a visiting UX
researcher at Stanford University's Autonomous Systems Laboratory. Formerly he
was a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford's Center for Design Research (CDR), the CEO
of the start-up Déan Design Lab, and is an Italian award-winning
architect and designer. After obtaining a Master degree in Architecture and a
PhD in Industrial Design from University of Genova (IT) and Loughborough
University (UK), he joined the Environmental Sustainability and Health
Institute as a research fellow at the Technological University Dublin focusing
his research and consulting on User Experience Design as a tool for improving
people's quality of life.
During his
career he has developed two patent applications and received several
international awards including: Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship
(EU), Fulbright Fellowship (USA), and Emerging Scholar from the George Brown
College (Toronto, Canada). He is the chairman of the Irish National Mirror
Committee for the development of the standard ISO TC 314 "Ageing Societies" and
expert representative for the standard ISO TC 215 WG2 "Health Informatics". He
is also a mentor at Open IDEO, an expert member of international jury panels
(Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE USA), a member
of European Innovation Partnerships (EIP on AHA), sits on the Scientific
Advisory Board and is co-Chair of AHFE International, a member of the Editorial
Review Board of the International Journal of Art, Culture, and Design
Technologies (IJACDT), and a speaker worldwide.
