From AgeTech West:
According to the
Center for Technology and Aging (CTA), we are at the dawning of “connected aging” in
which the growing array of Internet-based technologies and mobile devices
increasingly will support older adults to age in place. Emerging technologies
will enable both older adults and their caregivers to address a comprehensive
range of medical, health, social, and functional needs.
Solutions that connect
older adults to friends, family, and community are becoming more viable; older
adults and their caregivers are growing increasingly tech savvy; technology
usability is improving; and price points are descending.
CTA recently published
an issue brief on Connected Aging and launched an online mHealth Toolkit that
offers resources on developing mHealth programs for chronic disease management.
You can find the Issue Brief and ADOPT Toolkit on AgeTech’s Provider Resource Page.
