How can technologies help us age more healthily?
Published on 15 March 2021 09:09 AM
As a population we are living longer lives than ever before, with half the babies born in the UK today expected to reach their 100th birthday. This is exciting progress, but it comes with its own challenges. Too often, people ageing are faced with problems like loneliness, loss of independence and avoidable years of disease.
At University College London, scientists and engineers are developing technologies that help people to live these extra years healthier and with a better quality of life. But to make these as useful as possible, they need your help!
The UCL Age Innovation Hub want to hear your ideas about how technology could help us all age healthily throughout our entire lives.
