I’m proud of this work led by @YZhang_Janice, examining perspectives on “crisis apps” amongst older adults! Check out her #chi2020 video presentation. One question we explored— how well do these tools support a sense of dignity, safety, and control? youtu.be/_sJ2GoZu1Ss
We're excited to share our #chi2020 video presentation on how people use technologies that provide specific features and functions needed during crises, emergencies, or disasters, with a focus on vulnerable populations (i.e., older adults). @YZhang_Janice youtu.be/_sJ2GoZu1Ss
