Presentable

 
Exciting news! Imagine! SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems will be presenting at a workshop at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies Forum on Aging, Disability, and Independence on December 19.

The National Academies Forum on Aging, Disability, and Independence provides a place for stakeholders from the public and private sectors to come together and discuss areas of common interest over a prolonged period of time.

As part of this activity, the forum will include a workshop on December 19, 2012 in Washington, DC on “Fostering Independence, Participation, and Healthy Aging Through Technology.” This workshop will look at the use of and access to technology, emerging technologies, and how to overcome barriers to their adoption.

Greg will be part of a workshop panel on “Technologies to Promote Activities of Daily Living and Independence,” and will speak on technologies at the environmental/systems level, using his SmartHomes experience as a background.

This is a very prestigious event, and we’re not surprised that Greg has been invited to participate. Way to go, Greg!
