Center for Technology and Aging

The Center for Technology and Aging is a national leader in the use of patient-centered technologies for older adults. We take our distinctive experience and unique insights and work with health care providers, aging service organizations, payers, philanthropies, and technology companies to accelerate the diffusion of proven technologies.

ADOPT Toolkit

We have launched the online ADOPT Toolkit© to help organizations implement technologies for chronic disease management. The ADOPT Toolkit website includes free, practical “how to” resources that guide providers, ranging from hospitals and health systems to aging services organizations, through the often complex technology adoption maze – from planning and development to implementation and evaluation. Remote patient monitoring (RPM), Care Transitions, Medication Optimization, and mHealth tools are now available online.

Join CTA for a webinar on May 29th from 10:00am to 11:00am PDT (1:00pm to 2:00pm EDT) to learn how you can use the ADOPT Toolkit for Planning and Building Best-in-Class Mobile Health Programs for Chronic Disease Management. Registration for the webinar is available at: http://bit.ly/17g3mzR.

A one-hour nationwide webinar featured the ADOPT Toolkit website framework, applications, use cases, and example tools for Remote Patient Monitoring program design, implementation, and evaluation. The recording and presentation materials are now available.
