Abstract

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic and other global crises have significantly affected the lives of older adults, impacting their healthcare, social connections, and daily routines. While the increasing digitization and automation of services offer benefits such as remote healthcare access and reduced isolation, these technologies also pose challenges in terms of unfamiliarity, learning curves, and privacy and security concerns. Addressing these issues requires a collaborative approach across various fields, including health informatics, gerontology, social psychology, human-computer interaction, and cybersecurity and privacy. Understanding the cognitive, emotional, and sociocultural factors influencing older adults' use of technologies is crucial for creating inclusive and accessible digital tools. This multidisciplinary effort, as highlighted in the special issue of Work, Aging and Retirement, aims to enhance our understanding of aging and technology in today's world, empowering older adults to remain connected and maintain their well-being.

利用技术为老年人提供护理服务。
近年来,COVID-19 大流行病和其他全球性危机严重影响了老年人的生活,影响了他们的医疗保健、社会关系和日常生活。虽然日益增长的数字化和自动化服务带来了远程医疗和减少孤独感等好处,但这些技术也带来了不熟悉、学习曲线、隐私和安全问题等挑战。要解决这些问题,需要各个领域的合作,包括健康信息学、老年学、社会心理学、人机交互以及网络安全和隐私。了解影响老年人使用技术的认知、情感和社会文化因素,对于创造具有包容性和无障碍的数字工具至关重要。正如《工作、老龄化和退休》特刊所强调的那样,这种多学科的努力旨在加强我们对当今世界老龄化和技术的理解,使老年人有能力保持联系并维护他们的福祉。
