Reports on the State of Technology

The first report, State of Technology in Aging Services, presents definitions of aging-services technologies, the caregiver network and stakeholders in the care process. The report presents a vision for technology-enabled care along with a review of available and under development safety, health and wellness and social connectedness technologies and their value to different stakeholders. Finally, the report presents the barriers outlined to the proliferation of these technologies.

The second report, State of Technology in Aging Services According to Field Experts and Thought Leaders, features the results of expert interviews with thought leaders about opportunities for aging-services technologies, barriers to their proliferation and suggestions for overcoming these barriers. It also presents gaps in awareness, technical uncertainties, consensus on value and business and operating models and suggestions from thought leaders on ways to bridge these gaps. Finally, the report presents experts opinions on promising aspects of existing business models and forcing functions that would drive the adoption of these technologies.

The third report, State of Technology in Aging Services: Summary, presents an executive summary and highlights the main findings presented in the two previous reports in an issue brief format.
