Implementing and Adopting Technologies for Healthy Aging

As a society we have reached an inflection point where disparities in technology adoption rate by age group, amid the pandemic, and technological innovations are altering the landscape of the healthcare, creating both opportunities and challenges for improving healthy aging. Today, a person can expect to live an average of 22 years longer than people who were alive 70 years ago. There is evidence of the accelerated diffusion of technologies; however, data show consistent disparities in adoption rates.
