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? Experts and innovators alike are betting on the future of hospital care. Many of them say it won’t take place in a hospital at all. Instead, hospital care will be brought to patients in their homes. So in this episode, we ask: Is the home the new hospital for older adults? Is a healthcare revolution headed our way? Some experts are not so certain.
