Exploring Supportive Technologies for Caregiving and Aging in Place
Aging Well series
Most older adults hope to live independently for as long as possible. Newer technologies may help to make this goal a reality, with the potential to make aging in place easier for both older adults and those who care for them. From mobile applications to Artificial Intelligence, this burgeoning field is finding new ways to help older adults stay healthy and connected.
Professor Oleg Zaslavsky of the UW School of Nursing and the Digital Health Innovation Hub will provide an overview of the available technologies, both current and evolving, with information gleaned from research into their best and safest uses.
As a follow-up to this session, you may wish to attend our April 11 session, Ethics of Supportive Technologies for Aging in Place.
