Fostering Independence, Participation, and Healthy Aging through Technology
From: The National Academies Press

In 2012 the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council joined
together to establish the Forum on Aging, Disability, and Independence to
provide a neutral venue for broad-ranging discussions among the many
stakeholders involved with aging and disability. The goals of the forum are
to highlight areas in which the coordination of the aging and disability
networks is strong, examine the challenges involved in aligning the aging and
disability networks, explore new approaches for resolving problem areas,
elevate the visibility and broaden the perspectives of stakeholders, and set
the stage for future policy actions. Forum sponsors and members include
federal agencies, health professional associations, private sector
businesses, academics, and consumers. "Fostering Independence, Participation,
and Healthy Aging through Technology" summarizes this workshop.
