The Institution of Engineering and Technology Seminar on
Our Aging Society: The Challenges of Appropriate, Supportive Technology
Savoy Place, London, UK, Wednesday, 31 January 2007
http://www.iee.org/events/agingseminar.cfm
How can, and should, technology support an aging population?
The aim of this seminar is to bring together engineers, academics and
industry
researchers,
social and health-care professionals to explore the most important
challenges - from
mobility to
medical needs- facing an aging population.
There will be an emphasis on trying to identify where technological input is
appropriate
and potentially
beneficial by creating a platform to help everybody understand the issues
better.
