Description
Judith Sixsmith and Mei Fang present the IncludeAge project in a 2023 conference talk. The project asks how online communities can include older people who are often left out, notably those with intellectual disabilities and those who are LGBT. The pandemic widened the digital divide for these groups.
The talk shares a scoping review of what community and inclusion mean online. It then shows digital storymapping, where older participants map their own places and stories with support. The authors argue that designing with underserved groups, not just for them, lifts social inclusion and health equity. Readers get a template for fairer aging technology.
