What is Age-tech?
Finding Inspiration in Japanese Age-tech
AgeTech is a technology and innovation that enhances social inclusion and individual wellbeing in a hyper-aged society. It is made up of seniors, intergenerational people, and local communities. Committee members familiar with global AgeTech trends, intellectual property, policy, and social innovation will select the winners and present the awards.
AgeTech is not only about technologies related to care for the elderly; it is also about the SDGs second edition action areas: age-friendly environments (mobility, mobility, housing, home care, travel, fintech, insurtech social & communication, watchful waiting), integrated care, long term care (medical care, nursing care, nutrition, diet, exercise, rehabilitation, and other preventive healthcare, independence support, caregiver support, physical and mental health maintenance, and end-of-life related services that extend healthy life expectancy), etc., and is comprised of multiple domains, and is a field that is comprised of not only seniors but also their families and other intergenerational people and local communities. It refers to technologies and innovations that enhance independence and social inclusion throughout the human lifespan. An environment that is friendly to the elderly is also friendly to children and pregnant women, and is a necessary technology in Japan, where the birthrate is the lowest in the world and the population is aging.
Age-tech is defined differently in different countries, with each country's technology, research, and services being considered Age-tech according to the current situation in that country.
