Summary
We’re an aging nation. By 2050, for the first time ever, Americans over age 60 will outnumber those aged 10 to 24. Older adults increasingly prefer aging in place, so the need for technologies that support activities of daily living, mobility, and social connection is growing. In Century Lives: The AgeTech Revolution, we travel to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where we and 150,000 of our closest friends scope out the technologies that claim they will improve our lives as we grow older. We ask: What do we want our final quarter of life to look like? And can the AgeTech industry actually improve the ways we live our longer lives? The population of older patients is growing. Within a decade, there will not be enough providers to care for them. So what if older adults can monitor their own health, and actually prevent disease before treatment is needed? In this episode, we explore digital health innovations at CES — and learn that the future of disease prevention technologies has a lot more in store than step counters and smart watches.
