Listen Later

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Regina Akacich speaks with Lynette Reeves, Behaviour Change Specialist at Miroma Project Factory, and Professor Kim Delbaere, Senior Principal Research Scientist at Neuroscience Research Australia.

They explore the development of health technology for older adults, focusing on gamification, human-centred design, and balancing personalised care with standardised protocols.


Key Takeaways

  • Flexibility in Product Development: There is a need to adapt health tech products continually, aligning the technology stack with long-term goals while ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Gamification and Behaviour Change: Gamification techniques can drive behaviour change, with different age groups responding to various rewards.
  • Human-Centred Design: Lynette and Kim highlight the importance of involving older adults in the design process, using the StandingTall and LIV programs as examples.
  • Technology for Older Adults: Older adults can effectively use technology, especially when it helps them stay independent and connected.
  • Data Management and Privacy: Secure and compliant management of health data is critical, particularly with wearables and AI.
