Verbatim
“I hope this toolkit will help companies, especially those with limited resources to spend on market research and codesign, to understand and prioritise what older people want when designing and improving their digital technologies aimed at the silver market.”
“Digital platforms such as danceSing Care aim to address these barriers by providing flexible, accessible resources designed specifically for older adults. Our research found that danceSing Care can contribute to improved wellbeing metrics for both care home residents and staff. This suggests it would be beneficial to implement an evidence-based resource like this more widely to support physical, mental and social activity and improve the health of older people and their carers.”
