TechSAge is a collaborative research center based at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Georgia Institute of Technology, Person in Design, and Georgia State University. The team conducts research studies to understand the needs of older adults with vision, hearing, and mobility disabilities and develop technologies to support independent living and aging in place. Their research engages participants in surveys, focus groups, interviews, and supportive technology evaluations. 

Here are some ways you can engage with TechSAge. 

Join the TechSAge Participant Registry

TechSAge maintains a registry of names of people who are interested in being contacted about research studies. This will help match eligible participants with research studies. The registry includes questions about your: contact information, demographics, technology use, health, and sensory and mobility capabilities. This information is for screening purposes only and will not be shared with anyone outside of our research team. Depending on the study, you may be able to participate on the phone, online, on campus, at your home, or in other locations. Compensation is available for some studies.

Interested in joining? Answer a few questions about yourself to see which studies you might be eligible for and match your interests with our researchers. Complete the brief survey (5-10 minutes) online.
