5/4/22 13:00 ZOOM

JOIN US for a fascinating webinar featuring Keren Etkin, author of the best-selling book, The AgeTech Revolution, who will share her insights on the value of technologies to serve an ever-growing population of older adults around the world, as well as her experience in working on some of these technologies herself.  "The caregiving crisis in health care exacerbated by the pandemic and the longevity economy— estimated at $8 trillion in the United States alone—are propelling the development of a rash of new technologies to bridge the digital divide with older adults," Etkin recently said at a presentation at the University of Miami.     Keren Etkin is a gerontologist and the Director of AgeLabIL at Shenkar.  AgeLabIL is the first international and inter-disciplinary teaching and research gerontechnology lab in Israel, which creates innovative tech-based solutions for older adults and those who care for them.    AgeLabIL works with business, government and NGO sectors and offers theoretical as well as practical courses in gerontechnology design and engineering, to students from years 2+.   Students chosen to join AgeLabIL acquire knowledge in the fields of aging and gerontechnology and learn how to implement their existing skills and knowledge in design and engineering to develop solutions for older adults, family caregivers, elder-care providers and other stakeholders such as insurers and healthcare providers. Graduates from AgeLabIL will bring their unique skills and insights to the industry and become leading entrepreneurs and inventors in this fast-growing market.
