Facilitating the adoption of intelligent assistive technology by older adults through the development of high-fidelity simulation experiences for nursing education: Supporting technological and digital inclusion for older adults now and into the future

This study will seek to develop a range of high-fidelity simulated experiences for nursing students to assist older adults in the adoption of intelligent assistive technology to support aging in place. Using a mixed-methods research approach, a prototype clinical environment with intelligent assistive technology will be developed; related clinical case scenarios, and a range of focus groups and pilot testing will be conducted to develop insights to educate nursing students to the role these forms of technology can have in the lives of older adults. Implications arising from this study will provide educators and technology developers important insights related to how best to support the adoption of these forms of intelligent assistive technologies into the lives of older adults to support their digital inclusion.
