The Center for Digital Health (CDH) is pleased to announce that it has joined the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP as a testbed.

The AgeTech Collaborative from AARP is an unparalleled innovation ecosystem bringing together cutting-edge thinkers in the longevity tech space to champion meaningful advances so that everyone can choose how they live as they age.

Through participation in the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP, the CDH will work alongside innovators developing technologies that help older adults live healthier, safer, and more independent lives. CDH’s Health Innovation Technology Sandbox (HITS) will provide an interdisciplinary environment for the prototyping, testing, and evaluation of agetech solutions by bringing together expertise in engineering, computer science, public health, clinical care, and human-centered design. This collaboration will foster new opportunities to connect researchers, startups, healthcare organizations, and industry partners working to accelerate the translation of promising technologies into real-world impact.

"We're excited to contribute our interdisciplinary expertise to the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP and to collaborate with innovators developing technologies that facilitate aging in place," said Professor Kimani Toussaint, director of the CDH. "Partnerships like this are essential to accelerating innovation and ensuring new technologies are designed with and for the people they are intended to serve."
