​Panel discussion details:
“Designing for Dignity: UX, AI & Empathy in Later Life”
We’ll kick off this event with eye-opening “Myth Busters” data that challenges common misconceptions about seniors and technology. Learn surprising facts about older adults’ tech adoption rates, digital behaviors, and attitudes toward innovation—setting the stage for a more informed conversation.
Next our dynamic panel will explore the intersection of thoughtful design, artificial intelligence, and aging with dignity. Our experts will share insights on:

• ​Creating intuitive interfaces that respect the diverse capabilities of older adults

• ​How AI can personalize experiences while preserving independence and privacy

• ​The critical role of co-design: involving seniors as partners, not just subjects

• ​Breaking down harmful stereotypes that lead to exclusionary technology

• ​Real-world success stories and lessons learned from the field

​This conversation will challenge assumptions about aging while providing practical frameworks for building technology that truly enhances later life. Perfect for designers, developers, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and older adults themselves—anyone interested in creating a more inclusive tech future.
Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that bridges technical innovation with human-centered values, fostering new collaborations within Seattle’s growing AgeTech ecosystem.
