Description
Shannon Freeman and Rashelle Hoffman showcase tech for rural elders in a meeting summary. The pandemic rushed telemedicine, sensors, and AI into country healthcare, but the rollout landed patchily and often could not last, growing gaps for older rural folk.
The sessions surveyed what helps health equity: networks that reach farm country, and devices people really use, from self-driving cars and smartwatches to e-readers recast as health tools. Speakers presented how such solutions were found, rolled out, and kept alive after grant money ended. The meeting's thread is that access, not new gadgets, is the choke point.
