I’m deeply honored to receive Purdue University’s 2025 Focus Award for my volunteer work with older adults. Over 600 hours, 600+ individuals, 7 centers—supporting tech access & learning from their wisdom. Accessibility is connection. Inclusion is action. #InclusiveTech #aging

At least society tries to accommodate aging bodies—technology rarely does. Time for tech to catch up and be truly inclusive for older adults. #Aging #InclusiveDesign #TechForGood #HumanCenteredAI


Presented our paper, “Turning Onions into Stir Fry: Designing Against Frustration and Toward Joy for Older Adults”, at IEA 2024 in Jeju, South Korea, and chaired the Kansei 1-S-5 session. Continuing in the tread :) #IEA2024 #senior #aging

By 2050, women over 50 will make up 34.7% of the world's female population. Yet, their needs are largely ignored in policy and funding. We need to do better. 🌐bit.ly/3UEztdG @HelpAge #OlderPersons #GenderEquality

Imagine a future where companionship robots understand us deeply, offering empathy and support. But as they become more integrated, are our privacy rights secure? Will our data stay protected, or be just another commodity? 🛡️ Let’s push for innovation and protection.#AI #robot


I’m proud to present a a paper that bothers lots of people, including older adults, about photosensitivity. My paper was about making online platform more accessible for everyone. #research #seniors #paper #accessibility

Just curious. What feature of companionship robots older adults would like to have. So far we found 1. Patience to be the number one desire for companionship robots when speaking to them! #SeniorCitizens #robot #companion #future #seniorcare #care


Why does ‘technology for older adults’ sound so dull and unexciting? It’s not the technology itself, but the design principles and methods that often exclude this demographic. We need to rethink how we create tech for all ages. #senior #inclusive #TechForAllAges


I’m back. Excited to share some new research on enhancing privacy for older adults using companionship technology. Here’s a snapshot from our workshop #TechForSeniors #DigitalInclusion #SeniorCare #ElderCare #PrivacyFirst #Innovation #AgingWell #TechForGood #DigitalSafety #robot

Just got done with monthly volunteer at a senior living as technology helper. I learn so much from them and understand their struggles where today’s technology does not have good instruction on how to learn new technologies. #TechForGood #volunteering #Senior #olderadults

Another day of volunteering to help older adults. Today I got to introduce music and memory therapy to two older adults with dementia. It was meaningful and enjoyable experience as I saw how relaxed and happy they were with music! #therapy #SeniorSupport #music #aging #dementia


I met an older adult who is very good with tech, better than myself. It was a rare case of seeing someone like that without being an engineer. I wonder what makes them to adopt tech so well. He shared that he study every day about tech because it excites him #tread #tech #Senior


🌟 Volunteer Diary: Just spent an amazing day teaching tech to her! 🚀 Her eagerness to learn was inspiring. Let’s empower our elders with technology! #TechForSeniors #Volunteer #senior #TechForGood

Bluetooth hearing aids may not good for your brain health. But what if it’s necessary for you to wear them 24/7? When I asked this question from an older adults, I could not say anything. I noticed I was quite sad after that I couldn’t help. #hearing #disabilities #senior #tech

Older adults tech ability varies, and they can learn how to use tech when there are proffer supports. They are smart, capable, and human being with full of potential, like every age group. #learn #olderadults #tech #TECH4ALL #TechForGood #SeniorSupport #discriminations
