Abstract

The senior population is a broad, diverse demographic that it is often overlooked by traditional markets, particularly in the United States. In addition, seniors commonly experience feelings of isolation, abandonment and loneliness. This paper seeks to examine the sources of depression in the elderly and to explore human-centered technological solutions. We then propose a system of refrigerator-based technologies designed to foster self-reliance and connectedness among seniors.
