Technology for Adaptive Aging
- Share to:
This volume is the product of work by a steering committee appointed by the National Research Council (NRC) and of 16 workshop paper au- thors in response to tasking from the sponsor, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) office of Behavioral and Social Research (BSR). In September 2001, the NRC entered into a contract with the NIA BSR to conduct workshops on applications of technology to the needs of an aging population. The initial plan envisioned two workshops that would bring together experts, first in behavioral sciences and later in technology, to discuss the needs of older Americans today and in the next few decades and to look at current and emerging technologies to see how they might fill some of these needs. The task also included iden- tifying and discussing those factors in society and the economy that might act as facilitators or barriers to the development, marketing, or use of technological solutions.
