Description

​Join Institute on Aging’s Companioa team for presentations and discussions with a selection of tech startups using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve lives of people with dementia and their families.

​AI can enhance dementia care in several ways

• ​Diagnosis and clinical decision support

• ​Companionship and reducing social isolation

• ​Vital sign monitoring & fall prevention

• ​Personalized educating and training

• ​Helping maintain independence & dignity

​There's significant potential, but also challenges and obstacles to  overcome before these solutions go mainstream, including cost / reimbursement, distribution, impact and inclusiveness.

​This event is FREE and designed to inform and educate members of the public as well as IoA's broader partner community.
