Nov. 6 — Professor publishes paper on new gerontechnology center
Roschelle Fritz, a professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, published “A Global Gerontechnology Center for Nursing Science for improving aging-in-place technologies” in Nursing Outlook. She, and her co-authors, argue that while older adults in many countries share a desire to remain at home at long as possible, a technology gap leaves a mismatch between what older adults want and the current reality of doing this safely and inclusively. This paper announces the new center, which aims to help older adults live independently using technology. It outlines the center’s goals and plans and invites nurses and other professionals worldwide to collaborate on advancing technology for healthy aging. Shelly hosted a two-day workshop in March with a long-term goal of giving nurses working on futuristic care models a dedicated space to collaborate, support each other and advance research that benefits older adults worldwide.
