About the Center for Technology and Aging

The Center for Technology and Aging (CTA) serves as a national resource for the development, implementation, demonstration and evaluation of patient-centered technologies that benefit older adults. CTA supports the adoption and diffusion of technology-enabled care that is patient centered, coordinated, efficient and effective. Center staff identify and evaluate the implementation and adoption of technology-enabled programs, focusing on Mobile Health (mHealth), Remote Patient Monitoring, Care Transitions, and Medication Management, among others.

Center for Technology and Aging and its Connection to CITRIS

The Center for Technology and Aging in the past worked in collaboration with CITRIS Health on many projects. We have been able to bring over valuable resources from the Center for Technology and Aging that one can use to better enrich themselves and their communities.
