Companies, government, and
consumers are developing partnerships to address the challenges of the
coming "age wave". Through the application of consumer-directed
technologies, opportunities exist to empower individuals to take charge
of their own health care and maintain independence.
To achieve
this vision, our country must advance the development of new
technologies and ensure the interoperability of these devices. To help
explore the best way to enable the vision of connected home-based
health delivery, Center for Aging Services Technologies, the Department
of Commerce's Technology Administration and National Institute of
Standards and Technology have come together as partners to host a
National Summit to identify issues around the needs and challenges to
make interoperability a reality. Recommendations from the Summit will
drive needed public and private sector action.
