HealthTech is pleased to announce a series of webinars on The Future of Independent Living. These webinars are designed to help participants learn about the role of emerging technologies, design innovations, and service innovations in promoting health, well-being, and independence for persons with disabilities and older adults.

The first webinar, entitled Identifying and Piloting Consumer-Based Technologies for Independent Living, will highlight the experiences of Meridian Health in the selection and evaluation process of consumer-based technologies that promote independence in the home for older adults.
