N2 - Older adults experience various physical, cognitive and emotional decline over the years, often leading to a waning of mobility skills up to a point of avoiding walking or traveling altogether. Since mobility is extremely important in maintaining an intact sense of independence and well-being as well as social interaction, the goal of this research is to gain insight into the mobility challenges that older adults face, and to define requirements for technology that would support their mobility.
