SMARTCOMP 2021 Panel
August 25, 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT
Title: Smart Aging: Opportunities and Challenges
Panel Abstract:
Modern societies are seeing dramatic increases in the number of older adults, coupled with longer lifespans. The resulting societal burden is immense, both from the cost of their healthcare, as well as the need to provide services for aging adults. Smart technologies promise multiple benefits to lessen this burden, for instance through early detection of health deterioration, telehealth services to provide remote and ubiquitous access to healthcare, and smart living spaces to enable graceful aging in place, among others. The panel brings together distinguished researchers and practitioners in this space to discuss opportunities as well as challenges for smart aging. The first speaker will provide key insights from gerontology for successful aging. The second speaker will outline novel analytics and machine learning methods applied to detecting trends for diagnosis and prognosis of early Alzheimer’s disease onset. The third speaker will share experiences in delivering tele-healthcare services in the era of pandemics. The panel will then open the floor for an interactive discussion between the audience and the panelists.
