Due to the fourth industrial revolution and the Corona19, the availability of digital devices such as kiosks is a matter directly related to survival for older adults with digital divide. This paper analyzes the problems of existing information service education for older adults and proposes an IT education strategy tailored to aging and life cycle of older adults. The proposed in this study is an educational application-based IT training method that supports repetitive learning regardless of time and place, developing kiosk function as a functional game-type educational application and experimenting with post-training effectiveness. The research method proposed UI usability evaluation frame for older adults, and developed educational applications based on proposed evaluation frame, and conducted kiosk education. As a result of the experiment, the mission success rate after using the IT application was 80.6%, which is a 55.1%P improvement compared to the pre-use(25.5%). This study confirmed that the proposed education for older adults is a way to overcome the limitations of existing IT education in the current situation.

Local governments are conducting smartphone usage training for the elderly to bridge the information gap caused by a super-aged society. However, the one-to-many educational approach has limitations, and the elderly face difficulties due to insufficient learning effectiveness. This study proposes an educational service that can be used in offline training settings, considering an environment where the elderly can repeatedly learn to address these issues. This service utilizes generative AI to identify the parts that users find challenging and provides personalized problems for individualized practice. Integrating this app with existing local government training programs is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of smartphone education in terms of personalized 1:1 training, time management, and the appropriateness of educational content.

In response to the challenges posed by a super-aged society, local authorities are conducting educational programs on smartphone usage tailored for the elderly. However, obstacles such as the limitations of one-to-many education and suboptimal learning outcomes for the elderly have hindered the efficacy of smartphone education. This study suggests an educational service intended for direct application in offline settings, considering the identified problems. Through the utilization of generative AI, the proposed app identifies specific challenges encountered by users during actual smartphone use, offering personalized exercises to facilitate customized and repetitive learning experiences for individual users. When integrated with existing local government education initiatives, this app is anticipated to enhance the efficiency of smartphone education by providing personalized, one-on-one training that is efficient in terms of time and content.

스마트 시니어란 기존의 고령자 세대와 달리 문화향유 의욕을 가진 계층으로 컴퓨터, 스마트 기기 등 컴퓨팅 기기를 사용할 수 있고, 취미 문화 활동에 적극적으로 참여한다. 또한 고령자의 인터넷이용률도 증가하고 있다. 하지만 고령자들은 신체적 노화에 따른 한계점에 인터넷이용에 불편을 겪기도 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시니어와 주니어의 생체능력 비교실험을 통하여 스마트 시니어를 대상으로 하는 인지반응 분석 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 시니어와 주니어의 비교분석으로 주니어에서 시니어로 변화되는 과정을 파악할 수 있고 이는 스마트 시니어에게 알맞은 UI/UX제공 및 스마트 시니어에게 최적화된 콘텐츠 및 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것 이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to explore a correlation model of traffic safety and personality in elderly and non-elderly people. The correlation model is constructed by a factor regression analysis with latent factors and items related to traffic safety consciousness. As a result, it is found that non-elderly people with positive, active, perfectionistic, and unforgiving personality are likely to speed, have a high chance to be involved in traffic accidents, and tend to give low scores to traffic conditions. However, elderly people who are highly educated are likely to give high scores to traffic conditions and do not speed. Instead, elderly people become more likely to be involved in traffic accidents when they are engaged in more social activities. The results could contribute to developing traffic safety education and policy that is better customized to the specific needs of different groups of road users.

There are not that many m-health related services limited to the elderly. Many of the elderly who are at risk of dementia are unfamiliar to smart devices, so it is required to design an user-customized App. Therefore, I design and embody a mobile voice alert integrated app, which enables voice input to increase the accessibility of the elderly, so as to prevent diseases caused by declined cognitive function such as dementia. I conducted interviews and questionnaire after having the students use the app in Lifelong Education Center in H region of Gyeongbuk, and the analysis result has showed the high satisfaction. It is expected that it will be able to play a key role for M-Health service for the elderly since it is possible to prevent dementia through the voice health care alert app. I would like to learn deep learning in the future to predict the life patterns and the possibility of dementia of the elderly.

본 연구에서는 액티브시니어들의 개인특성인 경력지향성와 창업교육 만족도가 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보고, 또한 이들 간의 관계를 규명함으로써 시니어 창업정책 설계 및 자금지원, 창업교육의 바람직한 방향을 제시하고자 합니다. 액티브 시니어를 베이비부머세대 및 포스트 베이부머 세대 와 일부 에코세대를 포함한 활발한 활동과 건강한 삶을 지향하는 활동적인 고령자로 보고 40대 이상의 활동적인 시니어층를 액티브 시니어로 정의 하였다. 우리나라의 인구구조의 문제는 지금부터의 시작이며, 노인인구의 증가와 수명 연장등 고령화 따른 심각한 위기의 시작점에 40대 이상 액티브시니어에게 더욱 더 오랜 기간 일을 할 수밖에 없는 현실에 직면해 있다. 또한, 액티브 시니어들에게 안정적 일자리 창출 시장은 한계성에 봉착하고 있으며, 그 대안으로 발전 가능성 높은 아이템을 발굴하여 창직이나 창업을 통한 고용의 확대는 필연적 과제이다. 다양한 경력 기반의 액티브 시니어들에게는 무엇보다도 창업교육의 중요성이 더욱 더 절실하다. 특히, 액티브시니어들의 경력기반의 경력지향성과 창업교육 만족도가 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 미치는 영향관계에 따른 액티브 시니어의 개인별 맞춤형 창업교육의 중요성을 제안 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대전, 충청권 및 세종시 지역의 325명의 액티브시니어를 대상으로 분석한 결과 경력 지향성, 창업교육 만족도는 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 유의한 것으로 예상하고. 상호관계 분석결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 한계점과 및 향후 연구방향을 제시할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the current published research related to improvement in cognitive function. A systematic search was performed in three bibliographic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE) using "dementia", "memory", "food", "diet", and "nutrition" as keywords. Meal management intervention, including Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, Mediterranean (Med) diet, Diet Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, and other studies, was also included in the analysis. Through extensive screening, 21 articles, out of 2101 papers retrieved, were used for the final systematic review. The methodological quality of the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. These articles recommended vegetables, fruits, whole grains, olive oil, fish, berries, nuts, and beans. In conclusion, this study suggests the potential use of meal management to improve cognitive function.
