CREATE: center for research and education on aging and technology enhancement

ABSTRACT

In this paper we describe the interdisciplinary and cross-university Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE). This center is a consortium of the University of Miami (UM), Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), and Florida State University (FSU). It is a multidisciplinary (psychology and engineering), collaborative Center, funded by the National Institutes of Health (National Institute on Aging), dedicated to solving problems of aging and computer technology use.
