BUMP: bridging unmet modes of participation

Published: 13 July 2015 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a technology designed for social connectedness. The goal was to design and develop a technology that allows older adults to be more connected with family and/or close ones. Bridging Unmet Modes of Participation (BUMP) respond to the needs of designing technology products for inclusion and integration of older adults and addressing issues of isolation and social disconnected experienced with the aging population.
