One in four American families currently provides care-giving assistance to a senior relative. Innovative, senior-friendly technologies can allow your parents, elder relatives and friends to stay safe at home, socially connected, healthy, and help you more easily manage their well being. Learn how seniors can age in their own homes with safety, comfort and independence. How can technology help overcome common challenges people face as they age? Panelists will also discuss brain fitness technology, home monitoring systems, senior-friendly e-mail options, personal emergency response systems, electronic pill dispensers and more. 

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on July 30, 2009.
