This article investigates tactile interaction on smartphones with adults aged 65 or older who were considered to have a novice level of skill with technology. Two experiments with two different groups of 40 Portuguese adults adds empirical evidence to the field and shows that older adult performance for tapping is best toward the center, right edge, and bottom right corner of the smartphone display. Results also show that a participant's performance of horizontal swipes is better with targets toward the bottom half of the display, while participant's performance of vertical swipes is better with targets toward the right half of the display. This article contributes to the body of research on the design of user interfaces for smartphones and mobile applications targeted at older adults, as well as providing practical information for designers and practitioners developing products that are more universally accessible.

Tactile Interaction

International audience Some remarkable advances in mobile technologies have been made on the past fifteen years, especially the adoption of direct input on the screen. Since aging is now a worldwide demographic phenomenon, several studies have been carried on to investigate and improve the interaction between older-aged adults and these new technologies. These studies are important because mobile devices are often equipped with touchscreen and they can help to improve quality of life for older adults (health care, social life, serious games). Understanding interaction of this group of users with touchscreen can facilitate the adoption of interactive technologies and their future use by older populations. This literature review analyses thirty six studies that evaluated interaction techniques for older users using touchscreen devices. This review intends to 1) analyze the situation of thirty six studies (population, apparatus, tasks and interaction techniques) and 2) identify situations of use of touchscreen devices and interaction techniques that need to be further studied. As results, a descriptive analysis of the populations included, the chosen apparatus, executed tasks and interaction techniques are presented, so as a summary of relevant parameters to consider for studies of tactile interaction techniques. On each topic, we discuss about the results, the authors' recommendations and we provide cues for future work. Des progrès considérables des technologies mobiles ont été constatés sur les quinze dernières années, notamment avec le développement des écrans tactiles. Depuis que le vieillissement est un phénomène démographique mondial, plusieurs études ont été menées pour étudier et améliorer l'interaction des personnes âgées avec ces nouvelles technologies. Ces études sont importantes car les dispositifs mobiles, souvent équipés d'un écran tactile,peuvent aider à améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes âgées (soins de santé, maintien du lien social, jeux sérieux). Comprendre l'interaction de ce groupe d'utilisateurs avec des écrans tactiles peut ainsi faciliter l'adoption des technologies interactives et leur future utilisation. Cette revue de la littérature analyse trente-six études qui ont évalué des techniques d'interaction pour des sujets âgés utilisant des dispositifs avec écran tactile. Cette revue vise 1) à analyser la situation de ces trente-six études (population, équipements, tâches et techniques d'interaction) et 2) à identifier les situations d'utilisation des écrans tactiles et des techniques d'interaction qui doivent encore être étudiées. Les résultats sont l'analyse descriptive des populations incluses, des dispositifs choisis, des tâches effectuées et des techniques d'interaction, ainsi qu'une synthèse des paramètres pertinents à prendre en compte pour des études sur les techniques d'interaction tactile. Sur chaque point, nous présentons une discussion sur les résultats, les recommandations des auteurs et des repères pour des travaux futurs.

The purpose of this preliminary study was to gather information related to reading abilities of typically aging older adults, the strategies that older adults use to improve reading comprehension, and the types and frequency of reading materials older adults use. Ninety-six adults, mostly college-educated volunteers between the ages of 65 and 79 years participated. The data collected indicated that this group of adults used a wide variety of materials and strategies for reading and generally were successful readers. Implications for rehabilitation professions who work with older adults are considered.

The Relationship

Older adult selection and use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications is informed by a range of motivations and rationales-forming different older adult personas. Holden et al. (2019) categorized older adults seeking OTC medications into two personas: habit followers and deliberators. The goal of this paper is to 1) operationalize and expand on the persona types proposed by Holden et al. 2) use these definitions to characterize the types of older adult personas and 3) explore the relationship between over the counter medication misuse and persona type. Our preliminary analysis identified 3 persona types with differing rates of misuse: 1) deliberators (m=1.8 (range 0-3) instances of misuse), 2) habit followers- formal source dependent (m=0 instances of misuse), 3) habit followers- informal source dependent (m=2.1 (range 1-3) instances of misuse). Information about safe medication choices, provided by physician or pharmacist recommendation, was seen to be critical in safe decision-making about OTC medication selection and use.
