High-Tech and High-Touch: Solutions to Support Caregivers

-

One need not look far to find one of the 50 million family caregivers in America. They are critical to meeting the needs of our aging population. But few of them have the support they need, and many of them experience physical, emotional, and financial strain. To lighten this burden, the public and private sectors must work together to create affordable long-term care options, broaden access to universal paid family leave, and develop technologies to assist with juggling life, work, and caregiving. This panel will explore promising, innovative solutions on the horizon.
