Implementation Protocol for a 78-year-old:

1. Professional Setup & Ergonomic Optimization: Begin with a professional IT technician setting up the entire workstation at the user's preferred location. This includes ergonomic assessment for chair, desk height, monitor positioning, keyboard, and mouse to ensure maximum comfort and minimize physical strain during prolonged use. All software will be pre-installed and updated.
2. Personalized, Phased Onboarding (with Bespoke Tech Support): The dedicated tech support service will provide personalized, one-on-one training sessions. These sessions will be short (e.g., 30-60 minutes), focused on specific tasks, and highly repetitive, as needed. Start with core functionalities: email, internet browsing, basic document creation. Gradually introduce advanced tools like Scrivener, focusing on outlining, note-taking, and simple drafting. Follow this with training on video conferencing setup and etiquette.
3. Guided Practice & Project-Based Learning: Encourage the user to apply the tools to small, meaningful projects initially. This could be outlining a single article, drafting a letter to a mentee, or preparing for a virtual family call. The tech support will provide ongoing assistance as the user works through these projects, building confidence and proficiency.
4. Regular Check-ins & Proactive Maintenance: Schedule weekly or bi-weekly check-ins with the tech support for troubleshooting, addressing any questions, and providing refresher training. Ensure regular software updates and system maintenance are handled remotely by the support service, minimizing user burden and maximizing system reliability.
