Healthy Cities: Aging in the Cities Talk

I talked about cognitive reserve and bilingualism, Dr. Kathleen Van Benthem talked about expertise in pilots and drivers, and Dr. Bruce Wallace talked about using smart home technology to support patients and caregivers with dementia. The event was moderated by Dr. Chris Herdman who provided a wonderful overall introduction and helped the entire event run smoothly.
