A Four-Part Webinar Mini-Series

AgeTek Innovation

BRINGING ROBOTS HOME TO SUPPORT THE AGING, HEALTHY, AND ASSISTED LIVING

June 2022 – January 2023

The aging population is growing. It is estimated that by the year 2050, people age 65+ globally will reach 1.5 billion (WHO). Not all aging individuals live in institutional settings, have family caregivers, and/or require assisted living. Who or what will be able to fill the gap in a way that provides quality support for their needs with dignity, privacy, and security?

This four-part webinar mini-series will bring global multi-disciplinary experts to discuss the pragmatic applications of using robotic caregivers and companions to support this aging population. The technology is there and the need is immediate, yet the challenges continue to be unaddressed. On this blank canvas of opportunity, where can open and consensus-built technical and data standards, enhanced policy guidance, and overall education and awareness help drive trust in the adoption of our new robotic caregivers and supporters?

WEBINAR 1

The Robotic Assistant for the Aging: The Unbalanced Struggle between Benefits and Challenges

AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND

With the expectation of the aging population to increase and outpace younger generations, it is apparent that different models and forms of support will be needed to accommodate their varying levels of needs. The prediction of a shortage of caregivers both in-home, in long-term facilities, and in hospitals is concerning, but robots are here to help.

Robotics coming to the aid of this generation is opportunistic but also presents many challenges including accessibility, feasibility, adaptability, and flexibility. Will robotics be accessible to every aging adult across the world? What are the barriers that can be addressed during this current window of opportunity to meet this growing demand? 

This first webinar in the series will set the groundwork for the many technical and ethical considerations in utilizing advanced technologies such as robotics for this rapidly growing and highly diverse aging population.

Join this interactive live webinar to hear our guest experts offer different perspectives on how rapidly emerging agetek in the form of robotics can be a pragmatic opportunity for the aging population and where industry stakeholders need to come together to make it a trusted and validated resource for the aging.
