The Global Centre for Modern Ageing® LifeLab®
Australia’s leading testbed for ageing focused innovation.
LifeLab®
Bringing end user experience research to life.
Featuring sophisticated video and audio recording systems to capture end user interactions, our Global Centre for Modern Ageing® LifeLab® was purpose built for innovation.
The LifeLab® studio based in Tonsley, South Australia offers a highly customisable, simulated ‘real-life’ environment. Here, GCMA’s skilled researchers work alongside older adults and organisations to co-design and validate products, services and experiences that will better serve the lives of ageing people in Australia and around the world.
Accelerate product development through high-quality,
user-centred co-design and research.
“Technology adds a whole new dimension to work to support older people. Unfortunately, a lot of technology is designed without engaging or involving the older people in its development and sometimes may provide little benefit and often at quite considerable expense.
”The Gerontechnology platform and the Living Lab model provide a way to engage with older people and to co-design products to ensure they are relevant.”
