Session 1: Architecture & Design: Designing For Independence
|
Architectural and design decisions can create
environments that enhance the ability to continue to live independently and
safely. These architectural elements
can be applied to new designs as well as retrofitting to existing
structures and homes. We’ll talk
about things you can do to the home you have, the home you’d like to
create, and to community living environments.

Session 2: Activity Sensors:
Monitoring Behavior for Safety and Peace of
Mind
|
Smart home and wireless monitoring technology track
behavior to give early warning of potential health issues as well monitor
for falls and accidents. Use of
these technologies in homes and group living facilities can enhance peace
of mind for seniors, caregivers, and family members – and can give everyone
comfort in a longer independent Aging in Place living experience.

Session 3: Mind Games: Preserving and Enhancing Brain Function
|
Can we forestall the acceleration of Senior Moments and
retain brain function
longer for better long-term health and living? “Brain games” and other programs and
activities to stimulate the brain and lead to better memory and brain
function have surged into the marketplace. How do you know if a brain product is going to work and has some
science behind it? We’ll be joined
by two leading products in the industry as well as the Center on Aging’s,
Dr. Gary Small, to talk about the challenges faced in this changing
environment.

Session 4: Behind the Wheel: Advances in Transportation and Driving
|
Transportation and driving are vital links to help
seniors maintain their mobility and independence. The ability to be able to get from place
to place is a key element of independent senior living – and a key point of
stress and strife when that becomes no longer possible. New products are available to provide
enhanced awareness for drivers to allow them to continue to drive safely
and effectively. Our Panel will
discuss the effects of aging on driving ability as well as resources and
products that are designed to overcome some of these challenges.

|
This panel will explore products that entertain, inform,
enrich, educate, and promote active living, both for seniors living
independently and those living in community care facilities. We’ll look at on-the-market options for
sports and exercise, entertainment, and stress relief – all focusing on a
healthy, more active, senior life.

Session 6: Med-Tech: Medical Treatment Technologies
|
The treatment of chronic illness often suffered by
seniors has made great leaps in recent years. Our panel will discuss the advances made
in anything from surgical care to tele-surgery – recent technological
advances and practical use in medicine for the treatment of tumors, the
long-term delivery of medication, and surgical suite techniques that are
changing lives every day.

Session 7: Tele-Health: Remote Health Monitoring & Diagnosis
|
The demand for medical resources and treatment may not
keep pace with the availability – and not necessarily in seniors’ own
communities. Technology can help
address this need. We will explore
remote monitoring (the ability of your doctor to remotely check up on you)
and tele-presence (the ability of your doctor to remotely interact with you
and diagnose through remote sensing and communication technologies). You can essentially have an appointment
with your doctor without ever leaving your home or care facility!

Session 8: The Wired Senior: Computers & Connectivity
|
Products and services to make computers and the internet
accessible to the novice user. In
the digital age, more and more seniors are finding the Internet to be a
primary source for medical information, finances, entertainment,
connection, and interaction with loved ones, family, and friends. While many seniors are quite comfortable
using computers, others find computer technology to be scary and
intimidating. Our panelists will
discuss products and services that make computers and the Internet easy to
use for the potential silver surfer.

Session 9: Good Senses: Adapting for Vision and Hearing Loss
|
The world can be an challenging place when faced with
reduced vision or loss of hearing, which can reduce your confidence and
ability to interact in the world. In
this panel, we will explore non-medical solutions that help bridge the gap
between challenged awareness and augmented abilities for longer, healthier,
and happier engagement.

Revolutionary new healthcare technologies may radically
change the physical effects of aging in the near future. Our panelists will discuss some of the
most promising areas of cutting-edge research being done today and how they
may lead to more common treatments and solutions.

Session 11: Designing for Seniors: Consumer Products for Better Living
|
Susan Ayers Walker, host of the Silvers Summit at CES,
brings to us products designed to accommodate the special needs of the
senior community. Makers of
everyday products are beginning to embrace the particular needs of the
over-55 consumer and developing products that are easy to use as well as
stylish and functional. Our panel
will present some new products to the market that are designed with seniors
in mind.

Session 12: Staying in Balance: Fall Prevention & Recovery
|
Falls are one of the leading injuries suffered by the
senior community and often lead to the rapid need to end independent living
and significant health impacts. We
will discuss how falls can be reduced or prevented through balance
training, exercise programs, and gait modification. The technologies presented in this panel
also can help to predict behavior likely to lead to falls and offer
preventative measures.
