Figure 4.

The TechSAge Technology Intervention Model illustrates the value of a technology intervention. The top row replicates the bottom row of Figure 3 wherein individuals are aging AND have a pre-existing impairment. Their reduced capacity results in contextual facilitators becoming barriers (symbolized by Fs transitioning to Bs in figure) and hence more disability. The bottom row illustrates how a technology intervention can turn the barriers (Bs) back into facilitators (Fs), which yields more successful performance.
