Upcoming Event: How Elders, Caregivers, and Senior Services Are Influencing and Inventing Thoughtful Technologies

  • April 30, 2015
  • General

The Institute on Aging is presenting a one-day conference on aging and technology called BIG IDEAS, GOOD WORK: How Elders, Caregivers, and Senior Services Are Influencing and Inventing Thoughtful Technologies.

The conference is scheduled for May 27, 2015, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UCSF Mission Bay, Genentech Hall, located at 600 16th Street in San Francisco. The cost is $50 ($25 for seniors and students) and includes continental breakfast and lunch. You can register for the event by clicking this link.

Tech innovators — who are also elders, caregivers, senior-service providers or health professionals — will explore new ways to support healthy aging and aging in place as well as the evolution of technology in aging; safety issues of seniors; how technologies can help keep seniors healthy and independent; and ways in which we may make our own contributions towards influencing technology outcomes by bringing our expertise, knowledge, and experience to the creation of new technologies.

Speakers include:

  • Anne Hinton, executive director, San Francisco Department of Aging & Adult Services
  • Stephen Johnston, co-founder, Aging 2.0
  • David Lindeman, Ph.D., and Aenor Sawyer, Ph.D., Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), UC Berkeley and the Center for Technology & Aging
