- Share research findings and identify new ways of using technology to more effectively communicate health information to the aging population, their caregivers, and their health providers.

Participants will acquire a range of practical tools, experiences, and new partners that will help them help older adults make choices regarding their health in the face of today's rapidly evolving biomedical research.
