Simpson Launches TechLab Speaker Series Exploring the Future of Aging
WEST GROVE, Pa. -- Simpson, a nonprofit senior living organization serving older adults across Pennsylvania, is launching a TechLab Speaker Series at its Jenner's Pond community in West Grove. The public series will help older adults, families and health care professionals explore how artificial intelligence, remote monitoring and emerging technologies are changing the way older adults live and receive care.
The sessions will feature internationally recognized physicians, technologists, and senior living thought leaders discussing innovations in aging, memory care and independent living.
The TechLab Speaker Series is open to the public and supports Simpson's belief that the future of aging is already here. The educational series builds on the innovations already in use at Jenner's Pond. Jenner's Pond has developed one of the region's most progressive approaches to memory care by combining Comfort Matters(r), a nationally accredited approach to dementia care, with person-directed living that honors each resident's routines, choices, and dignity. AI-driven health monitoring and therapeutic gardens designed to encourage freedom and movement are examples of Simpson's commitment to personalized support for residents' health and well-being.
"As Americans live longer, more people will face dementia themselves or care for someone they love," said Dr. Carol McKinley, PhD, president and CEO of Simpson. "At the same time, technological advances are creating new opportunities to help older adults live healthier, safer, and more independent lives. At Simpson, we've created a progressive health services community using technology to improve the lives of our residents."
