The Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE) is hosting a two day workshop on “Health Care Technologies for Older Adults: Design, Adoption, Implementation and Training Issues” on February 23-24, 2017 in Miami, Florida.

The focus of this workshop is to bring together representatives from companies, organizations, universities, large and small, who are involved in the healthcare industry, healthcare product development or research who have an interest in meeting the needs of older adults.
