Abstract
The RERC on Technologies to Support for Successful Aging with Disability (RERC TechSAge)
serves as a catalyst for a major shift in the understanding of successful aging with disability and
subsequently in the design of home and community technologies. The mission of the RERC is to
apply universal design strategies to rehabilitation engineering R&D to prevent, minimize or
reverse the disabling effects of age-related losses and contextual factors on the independence,
health and participation of people who are aging with chronic conditions or long-term
impairment. The RERC is conducting nine research, development, and training projects by taking
full advantage of the capacity, experience, multidisciplinary diversity and interdisciplinary
approach of the schools, research centers and laboratories at Georgia Tech, including CATEA,
AMAC and GIS in CoA, Human Factors and Aging Lab and Sonification Lab in Psych, Awarehome
and Interactive Media Technology Center in IPAT, HCI, Healthcare Robotics Lab in BME, and
HomeLab and Human Factors Lab in GTRI.
