Speaker: William E. Reichman, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer, Baycrest, Professor of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto “Innovation and the Coming Transformation of Seniors Healthcare”
Introducer: Brian Corman; Host: Daphne Maurer
Abstract Several emerging social and technological trends are likely to cause significant disruption to our existing models of health care delivery to older adults. These trends include: increasing longevity, morbidity compression, the “retailization” of healthcare services, the growth of integrated value-based healthcare systems, the advance of remote virtual care platforms, assistive and home monitoring technologies, and the impact of artificial intelligence and hyper-connectivity. This talk will review some of these trends and their implication for how best to support an aging global population.
