ISSUE Mobility is critical for quality of life among older adults. Walking and driving abilities enable older adults to participate in society. Classic assessment tools such as Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)—in particular the item of transferring—have contributed to enhancing the knowledge related to mobility among older adults. However, the advancement of technology calls for alternative way to assess mobility among older adults. CONTENT This symposium aims to present the use of technology in assessing mobility among older adults in a twofold way: (a) machine learning application into big data and (b) use of wearable robot.Keywords: mobility, transport, driving, older driver, wearable robot, exoskeleton robot
