​Dear All,

I would like to draw your attention to a CFP for the Technology and Aging Special Collection in the SAGE Journal Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM):


Overview

For the aging population, technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the rapid pace of development and change can make it difficult for older adults to learn new technologies, while the world's increasing use of and dependence on smart devices and digital technologies leaves those who struggle to adapt at a distinct, isolated disadvantage. On the other hand, technologies geared specifically towards an increasing, aging population contribute to increased comfort and dignity, the ability to live at home for longer, ease with managing health issues, and even longer life. This collection examines both aspects of the topic, welcoming manuscripts that address technologies designed for older adults (gerotechnology) as well as older adults' relationship and struggles with advancing technologies. Both clinical and behavioral approaches will be considered.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Gerotechnology

• Security and safety, including medical alert systems

• Smart home systems such as security or thermostat

• Home health and wellness, such as systems that remind patients to take their medication

• Telehealth and telemedicine

• Technologies that assist aging adults with managing their healthcare

• Medical technologies geared specifically to conditions or diseases primarily experienced by older people

• How technology affects social engagement (i.e. keeping up with remote relatives using text or email)

• Benefits to family members and care givers (i.e. the ability to monitor security, thermostat, etc even when not present)

• Educating aging adults on new technologies

• Cognitive or physical conditions that may limit the ability to use technology

• Technologies geared towards managing and/or decelerating age-related diseases or declining abilities

• Rural Ageing, Physical Environment

• Transport (automation within vehicles, transport information provision, apps to support ride sharing, mobility as a service etc.)

• Sex, Intimacy and dating apps

• Age cohorts - Gen X, Millennial's, Gen Z

• Intergenerational relationships

• Video Games, Gamification

• Environmental technologies (pollution apps, smart meters etc.)


The submitted manuscripts for this Special Collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.


Manuscript Deadline & Processing fees

Ongoing

An article processing charge may apply upon acceptance of your paper.

Her PhD focused on computer gaming habits of older adults and her research interests include, gamification, health and wellbeing, rural ageing, user’s engagement (e.g. flow), perception, barriers and enablers to ICTs and videogames.


Charles Musselwhite, is an Associate Professor in Gerontology at the Centre for Innovative Ageing<http://www.swan.ac.uk/humanandhealthsciences/research/centres-and-groups/centre-for-innovative-ageing/> (CIA) at Swansea University<http://www.swansea.ac.uk/> and heads-up the Environments and Ageing research strand. He is the Operational Director of the £3million CADR project<http://www.cadr.cymru/>, an initiative to develop and enhance research, policy and practice for older people across Wales. His research addresses environments of ageing including transport, mobility, housing, neighbourhoods and community and how technology can enhance these areas for people as they age. He is an Executive committee member of the British Society of Gerontology (BSG).  He is also a member of the International Association of Applied Psychology and partner of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. He has appeared on BBC TV and international radio stations on a variety of mobility and built environment topics and appear regularly on BBC Three Counties radio discussing older people’s issues.
