Based on research indicating that commercially available persuasive wearables could be used in support of maintaining autonomy and independence in older adults, this series of studies investigated whether this technology would be readily adopted by older adults with mild cognitive impairment and what considerations must be made to ensure that adoption is successful. The results of this study indicate that comprehensive and clear interpretation of the data, the support of spousal care partners, and well-designed, intentional training are all paramount to maintaining motivation to use these devices. This research has implications for device designers, professional and personal care partners, and other researchers concerned with improving the adoption of persuasive wearables for populations with cognitive impairments.
