TechSAge Among Finalists for Atlanta Magazine’s Groundbreaker Award
Primary tabs
Is Atlanta the place you hope to stay, to grow old? How can we shape our city to reflect where we want to live, not just now, but in the future?
These are the questions posed to this year’s Atlanta Magazine Groundbreaker Award honorees. They also reflect the work one finalist, Research Engineering Rehabilitation Center on Technologies to Support Successful Aging with Disability (RERC TechSAge) at Georgia Tech, is doing to pave the way.
By 2030, one in every five Atlanta residents will be over the age of 60. TechSAge creates innovative technologies for this aging population, not just in Atlanta, but for the world at-large.
“There’s more power [in tech solutions] when we’re working together,” says architect Jon Sanford. Nearly 30 researchers contribute work to the Center, focused on the challenges of designing environments to be universally accessible, regardless of age or ability. As champions of universal design, TechSAge is creating a user-friendly world for all ages and abilities.
