CSDE Affiliate Berridge on National Academies Panel on Technology and Aging (10/14/25)

CSDE Affiliate Clara Berridge (Social Work) will be a panelist for the National Academies Hauser Policy Impact Fund Webinar, “From Longevity to Vitality: Leveraging Technology for Thriving in Later Life”, on October 14 from 10:30 am – 12 pm PT.

Technology is changing rapidly. New innovations from smartphones to artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly integrated into our lives at a time when the population is growing ever older. How can we ensure that the benefits of these technologies reach older adults without exposing them to some of the potential harms?

Join us for the third and final webinar in this series from the Hauser Policy Impact Fund that applies insights from the social and behavioral sciences to the challenge of supporting healthier, more connected lives as we age. This webinar will explore technology and its role in supporting older and aging adults.

The discussions will identify actions that families and policymakers can take to encourage technology use that promotes autonomy and well-being while maintaining privacy, reducing susceptibility to scams, and averting other unfortunate but common experiences.
