From Innovation to Adoption: Standards-Based Solutions to Support Technology for Aging in Place
Join researchers and experts from the National Research Council, Canadian Standards Association, AGE-WELL and the University of Waterloo to learn more about a research project underway exploring an AgeTech design and evaluation framework, guidelines, and best practices, that expedite the development, validation and dissemination of technologies that can address the needs of older adults in a safe and reliable way.
The goal of the project is to produce a best practices, guidelines, and standards toolbox for AgeTech that might be used by innovators and industry (i.e., technology developers and adopters) to expedite time to market and help guide the choices of older adults and their care partners to age more independently in the place of their choosing.
This session will allow invited experts and interested registrants to hear about the project, its progress and preliminary insights, and to provide input and feedback to the team.
