about innovative technology during IAHSA tour Global Aging Network to visit western U.S. sites this fall The International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing (IAHSA) and the Center for Aging Service Technology (CAST) is hosting a technology study tour to highlight the latest innovation and design, both in development and applied, at four U.S. cities this fall. From Oct. 20-30, stakeholders will be provided with an in-depth understanding of aging services and senior living as they visit locations in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and San Francisco. Key highlights of the tour include opportunities for discussions with U.S. aging service leaders, including a roundtable in Seattle and a meeting with key representatives of aging services in California. In addition, there will be a meeting with Eric Dishman, an Intel Fellow and director of health policy, as well as a tour of research laboratories at the Oregon Health and Sciences University, which focuses on the latest technology being developed for geriatric care. Stops at service providers and demonstration sites employing innovative service models and community-care programs are also planned. This includes a visit to Eskaton, a provider of residences, community services and health care to older adults in California and its national demonstration home, which highlights how smart design and innovative technology can allow seniors to age in place. In San Francisco, delegates will visit three leading aging service programs each offering a unique approach to care for the elderly. The trip also provides participants with a tour of some well-known U.S. tourist attractions including Pikes Place Market in Seattle and Mount Rainier, an active Cascade volcano. For those interested, there is an option to extend the tour and attend the American Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing annual meeting and exposition in Los Angeles Oct. 31. According to IAHSA, space for attending this tour is limited and interested participants are encouraged to register soon. To learn more about the tour, click here.
