Anthea Tinker, 7th Grandmaster of the International Society for Gerontechnology (ISG), has a passion for technology and older people, while stressing, for instance, housing for Ageing-in-Place as early as 1976. Currently in her eighties she is still active in international projects. The breadth and depth of her passion is shown in this issue of Gerontechnology journal.

Background: Worldwide, people ageing in place become the new normal. For people with dementia, ageing in place is not that self-evident. Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia like aberrant motor behaviour are often associated with placement in long-term care facilities. Nowadays mental health care not only focuses on intramural care but also provides personalized care and support for community-dwelling people with dementia. Mental care and support in a home setting could be difficult, fortunately, assistive technology has great potential in fostering independent living and improving mental and physical health. Biodynamic lighting could be a promising technological innovation for home use to support people with dementia. Objective : This study explores the influence of biodynamic lighting on aberrant motor behaviour over time in people living with dementia at home. Method: This study uses an A-B-A-B withdrawal single-case experimental design of three persons living at home with dementia. Results : Although differences between biodynamic light and placebo light with respect to aberrant motor behaviour did not reach significance, a trend was seen in the stabilization of aberrant motor behaviour over time. All participants subjectively reported positive effects of the biodynamic light. Conclusion: As this research was merely explorative, future research should examine whether this intervention contributes to ageing in place for people living with dementia. However, this study showed that it is feasible to adopt these kinds of interventions in a home situation.

Background: Loneliness is an emerging societal emerging societal public health challenge affecting adults' well-being and overall quality of life across the lifespan. Leveraging communication technology presents an opportunity to support social connectivity and meaningful relationships among adults. However, little is known about communication technologies' use, application, and functionalities to support connectivity for adults across the lifespan. Objective : This review aimed to understand the role of communication technologies in facilitating social connectivity across the aging process. Method: This review was conducted utilizing the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. After systematically reviewing the current literature a total of 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results : Communication technologies present opportunities to enhance and support social connectivity. The range in functionalities and applications of technologies represents a continuum of embodiment. Conclusion: Technologies with higher levels of embodiment may hold enhanced opportunities to expand the sense of social connectivity through use.
