A report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) examines three areas where older adults experience change: social engagement and connectivity, cognitive function, and physical ability. PCAST investigated technologies that promote individuals’ continued independence and productivity as these changes happen. The report includes four cross-cutting recommendations that span a wide range of technologies and eight targeted recommendations concerning specific applications to improve mobility, cognitive function, and social engagement.
