Abstract

The National Center on Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) model for viewing research and development in technology and aging was discussed. The NCMMR model comprises five levels of research and development with each level focussing on a different area. The cellular level focuses on pathophysiology, the organ level on impairment, the action level on functional limitation, the task-role level on disability, and the social-limitations level on barriers which result from attitudes and policies. An emerging area of research focuses on using computerized devices for helping people with cognitive impairment in their daily activities.
