Access To Innovations And Services Supporting Longevity
Who gets them, and why?
Innovations aimed at supporting longevity—such as wellness apps, telehealth services, and personalized medicine—are increasingly accessible to those with the resources and knowledge to seek them out. These individuals often have a higher socioeconomic status, education level, and digital literacy, which enables them to navigate and benefit from these advancements.
Learning and Using Innovations
Older adults are increasingly turning to online platforms, social media, and community workshops to educate themselves about wellness. However, there's a growing need for resources that specifically cater to their learning styles and preferences, bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and practical, everyday applications.
Taking Agency Over Health Span
Older adults can take agency over their health span by becoming proactive participants in their health and wellness journey, advocating for themselves in the healthcare system, and utilizing technology to monitor and manage their health.
Role and Gaps in Traditional Medicine:
Traditional medicine plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions and providing preventive care, yet it often falls short in addressing the holistic needs of older adults. Gaps include a lack of focus on preventative wellness, mental health, and lifestyle interventions that can enhance longevity. The insurance industry, too, has been slow to cover new age-related services and technologies, limiting accessibility for many.
Beneficial Routines and Products
Routine enhancements like balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, cognitive exercises, and social engagement stand out. Products and services that are easy to use, accessible, and backed by reputable science will benefit them most, especially those that can be seamlessly integrated into daily life.
Wellness at Work
For older, formally employed adults, wellness at work includes ergonomic work environments, flexible scheduling, mental health support, opportunities for continued learning and development, and health and wellness programs tailored to their specific needs.
Future Of Education For Older Adults
Format, Delivery, and Topics: The future of education for older adults lies in flexible, accessible formats such as online courses, workshops, and seminars that accommodate varying schedules and learning paces. Topics will range from technology and digital literacy to health, finance, and creative pursuits, empowering them to remain competitive in the workforce or pursue new interests.
