Session Capacity: 99
This panel
will examine how digital technology might transform how we age as a society,
including how we provide elder care. Emerging technologies—such as those that
track vital signs, medication usage, activity levels, and falls; drive cars
autonomously; and arrange on-demand home health care—have the potential to let
older adults lead more independent lives while still meeting their medical and
social needs. However, emergent technologies also raise new ethical, practical,
and legal concerns, including those related to privacy, safety, quality of
care, and reimbursement. Panelists from the fields of health law, elder law,
privacy law, as well as industry, will analyze these issues from a variety of
perspectives.
