CREATE is a multidisciplinary and collaborative center founded in 1999. It is dedicated to ensure that the benefits of technology can be realized by older adults to support and enhance the independence, productivity, health, safety, social connectedness and quality of life of older people.
The center strives to develop and evaluate interventions and design solutions to promote successful technology adoption among older adults.
CREATE represents a consortium of five universities:
