Abstract: Self-Dependency in Older Adults is broadly a measure of their morale and self-worth. The purpose of this research is to understand how far the engagement and interaction between elderly and the younger members of their family affects their lifestyle and self-esteem and how technology can help revive the dignity of the elderly by helping them cope with the changes in their life and the fast-pacing world. Positive and Negative Engagement criteria from previous research has been employed to develop codes based on which questions have been designed. The lifestyle choices and past behaviour that the elderly and their younger family members hold is collected and quantified through two separate parallelly and strategically designed surveys which both factions have answered. It was observed that gender plays a role in the priorities of South-East Asian Older Adults, and they do not have any major discrepancies between the thinking of the elderly and their family member. Analysis of such insi ghts helped generate themes which inform the model for technological intervention which can help revitalize the self-confidence of the elderly. (More)
