The AgeTech Revolution: The New Book by Keren Etkin
Have you ever thought about what your life may be like as you grow older, and what technology will be available to you at that time?
In The AgeTech Revolution, Keren Etkin - head of Shenkars' AgeLab - takes you on a journey to explore what the intersection of tech and aging looks like today.
This book explores the changing face of aging in the 21st century, through the lens of the fast-paced digital transformation our society is going through. It goes into challenges of aging that are currently being tackled by technology - using the real-life stories of tech entrepreneurs and older adults.
Etkin also provides a glimpse into the future, and what agetech could be like five, ten, fifteen years down the road. We have a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impact the experience of living as an older adult in this world, using technology.
The AgeTech Revolution provides us with the data and perspective necessary to change our tech landscape and to create a world that is more inclusive and supportive of older adults.
