CREATE PI Walter Boot is grateful for the hospitality of the Brazilian Society for Gerontechnology @sbgerontec as he presents CREATE research on virtual reality and technology proficiency today in Curitiba.

Digital technologies permeate our daily lives & disparities in digital skills could challenge older adults' independence. Our recent paper outlined a conceptual framework for Digital Activities of Daily Living (DADL). Check out details here: academic.oup.com/gerontologist/… @geronsociety

Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire (MDPQ) is a great tool to assess older adults' ability to use smartphones & tablets efficiently. Check out our updated resource page and user guide for MDPQ: create-center.org/resources/inst…

CREATE Principal Investigator Dr. Sara Czaja participated as a panelist  at the @AARP national virtual event. The event is part of the three-part virtual series known as Megatrends: Shaping the Future of Work. Learn more here: aarpinternational.org/initiatives/fu…

At our latest @center_aging1 Lunch and Learn, Dr. Shenghao Zhang presented "Self-Representation of Older Adults in Extended Reality." His research is supported by an early-stage investigator pilot research award from @CREATE_Center.

Congratulations CREATE Principal Investigator Dr. Wendy Rogers for her successful keynote address to the #ISG2024 World Conference of Gerontechnology in Frankfurt! @GerontechISG
