ABSTRACT
This paper summarises an in-progress dissertation that explores emerging technologies that promote physical activity and senior communities. This research work will undertake three case studies with the aim to identify the barriers and facilitators to the adoption of emerging technologies that promote physical activity in a senior cohort. This work identifies these barriers to technological adoption in the hopes that future commercial and research work is able to increase the uptake of emerging technologies for promoting physical activity in seniors.
