The way we care for seniors today cannot
scale to meet the looming age wave, and before long we’ll face a fullblown
national crisis. We have an obligation to our parents—indeed to the next
generation of seniors—to ensure they get the best possible care and that
they receive it in a place they want to call home. What we need is a national
strategic plan—one that brings together leaders from industry, government,
health care, research, and consumer advocacy—to prepare for the aging of
our population.
New technology solutions offer great promise to improve quality of care while
reducing healthcare costs. Technology already has transformed our lives—from
email to MP3s and from online shopping to cell phones. It is time now for technology
to transform the experience of aging.
Fortunately, exciting new technologies coming in the next 5-10 years offer
the potential to dramatically improve the quality of care we can provide. We
can and must make it happen through vision, leadership, and national commitment
to prepare for the demographic and economic changes that will inevitably transform
our swiftly aging planet.
