AgeTech, digital health and AI tools specifically developed and designed for older adults, offers promising applications for personalized care and caregiver support. These technologies encompass a range of digital health applications and assistive devices, such as wearables with real-time health monitoring, hearing aids with location tracking, and fall prevention systems that enable continuous surveillance. AgeTech can help older adults maintain independence and social connectedness, while also improving health outcomes. However, Melissa Ahlers will explain that along with those benefits will come risks including incidents of financial exploitation, unsolicited surveillance, coercive control tactics,and targeted scams against older adults. These growing threats underscore the need for more nuanced approaches to digital safety that balances the benefits of technology with privacy protections.
