The ActiveAge team is constantly scanning new and existing technology that may be applicable or useful for older people.
We are interested in emerging ICT that could help individuals maintain their independence, remain mobile, communicate with others and be included in society.
Once a month we produce the 'Technology Radar' which is sent out with the ActiveAge Alert.
This month's Technology Radar includes glucose monitoring contact lenses, the first 3d printed organ, and mobile vascular imaging.
