Digital Age(ing): How tech can empower our aging population

Description:

Technology solutions and services typically designed for younger audiences are increasingly being adapted to meet the needs of the growing senior population. We’ll discuss the challenges and opportunities in designing tech that accommodates all ages, and how these innovations allow seniors to age independently for longer. It’s not just about making life easier for the elderly—it's about redefining aging and enabling a future where every generation thrives through technology.
