“In the 21st century, the challenge for researchers and industry is to focus not just on lifespans— how long we live—but also on healthspans, or how well we live,” Cohen writes. “Continued university breakthroughs help to advance many new consumer technologies with the potential to make lives easier for older adults, such as self-driving cars, robotic assistants, and digital apps for health monitoring and assessment.”
Dr. Cohen spoke at the 2016 NPEA Annual Conference in Newport Beach and provided a fascinating discussion on the topic of Personalized Aging Strategies.
