The Age-Tech Toolbox: Up-to-Date Age-Tech Tools for Supporting Elders and Their Families
In the beginning, technology for seniors meant making buttons larger, text bigger, and everything simpler. While adapting technology to make it easier for seniors is important, the concept of Age Tech centers on assistive technology for older adults and their caregivers with the intent of improving the aging experience. A distinguishing characteristic is that Age Tech is greatly designed by and for seniors.

With more than 400 tools in the market, innovation in Age Tech is happening faster than we can keep up with it. Yet, knowing which tools are available for different situations is becoming a critical service that life-aging professionals can offer families. In this fast-moving workshop, learn the types of tools now available and how to evaluate their fit for a resident.

Learning Objectives
● Distinguish Age Tech and assistive technology to improve the lives of older adults
● Navigate the maze of tools that are available for different scenarios and needs
● Embrace the role of counseling families on Age Tech solutions
