Bringing Health Home: The New Frontiers of Technology and Aging

The coronavirus pandemic laid bare the stark vulnerabilities of the US long-term care (LTC) system, but also unleashed a rapid acceleration in the adoption of tech-enabled care for older adults living at home and in residential facilities. Through continued expansion and extension of telehealth, an estimated $250 billion in health care services could be virtualized—a massive shift in the way care is delivered. Technology-driven solutions have the potential to enhance quality, reduce costs, and increase access across the entire health system. Recognizing the growing need for LTC, the emergence of home-based and alternative care delivery models, and the rapid evolution of technology, this panel will spotlight opportunities for innovation to promote integrated health and home care.
