SUMMARY:Aging-in-place technology:  challenges and trends
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE: April 6\, 1 p.m. ET \nThere’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to aging in place. When the challenges older adults face are not adequately addressed\, that person either lives with a lot of risk or is forced out of the place they’d prefer to live. Health technology is the answer for some. But there are challenges\, including privacy issues\, cost and useability. Our expert panel will lay out some of the issues that arise as families try to support a parent’s desire to age in place. We’ll also look at one demo project that could help and highlight some of the latest tech trends that health reporters should have on their radar. \nView the webcast \nLeslie Kernisan \nJeffrey Kaye \nLaurie M.
