Cheers, Simon ---- 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.
