December 27, 2021 - The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Nursing, the Perelman School of Medicine, and other departments across the university are working together to create the Penn Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory for Healthy Aging (PennAITech).  

PennAITech will explore the use of artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve in-home care for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. According to the research team, the collaboration will leverage extensive data and expertise in artificial intelligence, consumer informatics, and aging. 

The collaboration is being led by George Demiris, PhD, FACMI; Jason Karlawish, MD; and Jason Moore, PhD, FACMI. 
“Aging in place is a priority for most older Americans. This goal can be challenged by chronic illness including Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. We need innovative solutions that will help us detect risks, address disparities, support decision- making and improve access to care,” DemirisI said in a press release.
