ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the Gerontechnology Evaluation Framework: Outcome Validation, is focused on understanding how important certain evaluation indicators are when it comes to technology designed for older adults. The goal is to gather feedback from different groups of people to see how well these indicators apply in real-life situations. Participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire where they will share their thoughts on the importance of these evaluation indicators.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be either elderly individuals aged 60 and above, caregivers for elderly individuals or those with disabilities, staff who work in social services for the elderly or disabled, or people involved in companies that create or sell technology for older adults. However, those who cannot read or write in Chinese will not be able to participate. While the trial is not yet recruiting, those who qualify can expect to contribute valuable insights that could help improve technology for older adults.
