As the average life span increases, older adults remain the fastest growing segment of our population and the largest consumers of health care products and services. It is imperative that America's healthcare system respond accordingly by implementing the most cost effective and proven medical innovations to ensure high quality of care for our aging population. In many cases this means moving care from the hospital to the home or outpatient facilities.

The World Congress Leadership Summit on Emerging Innovations and Technologies in Senior and Home Health Care brings together the key stakeholders responsible for health maintenance, disease prevention and chronic disease management for America's baby boomers and beyond. It will convene the nation's leading experts on technologies currently in use as well as those in development which promise to dramatically improve the quality of life for America's aging population. A keen focus will be placed on the evaluation of the effectiveness of remote biometric monitoring and reporting tools, home based medication compliance technologies and the use of personal health coaching lines and online patient communities.
