This conference will explore the range of technologies available or under development for adults 55+ in British Columbia looking to age in place. These include “smart” homes and "smart" cars, wearable sensors, websites, smart phone and tablet applications for use by seniors, caregivers or family living at a distance who want to stay in touch, electronic health records and more. Keynote speakers and expert panels will discuss the pros and cons of each option and the type of senior for whom it is best suited. To the extent possible research findings and consumers’ first hand reactions to current and emerging aging-in-place technologies will be presented. The objective of the conference is to provide information that will enable people aged 55+ to plan ahead and make informed choices about whether to stay put in their current home or move to alternative accommodation. As well, it will provide a forum for developers (private & non-profit) to learn what adults aged 55+ are looking for in the way of housing and supports for their later years.

Accompanying this report is a Photobook that resulted from this research project. This photobook is especially for the residents who participated. Participants showed how the COVID-19 pandemic affected their sense of social context, including their local neighbourhood environment. This book is a showcase of the places and situations that were identified as facilitating or inhibiting social connections in people's home environments at this time, their explanations of the way they understand and relate to these places, and what they think it would take to generate a greater sense of sociability. It accompanies a longer analytical report of the same titlle.
