Combating aging: the latest in medical technology
From: WRVO Public Media - 06/03/2017

Getting older is an inevitable part of our lives, with age-related issues and
conditions inspiring new advancements in technology to aid those affected.
Whether it's medication management, falling, or other problems facing aging
adults, the latest medical technologies are offering new ways to combat those
barriers.

To find out more about some of these new technologies, "Take Care" was joined
by Dr. David Lindeman, director of the Center for Technology and Aging - a
research group in Oakland, California.

There are a variety of challenges that people may encounter as they get
older, Lindeman explains. Of course, there are chronic diseases and
conditions related to aging like Parkinson's and dementia, but other issues
include falling, depression, incontinence, medication management, and social
isolation.
