REMINDER...for Monday-Wednesday (April 7-9)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

    WHAT:   In his opening-day keynote, David Tennenhouse, vice
            president, Corporate Technology Group and director of
            research, Intel Corporation, will discuss the next
            generation of emerging and "disruptive" technologies to
            enable a future of proactive computing where networked
            computers anticipate our needs and sometimes take actions
            on our behalf. Speaking on the theme, "Exploring
            Disruptive Technologies through Proactive Computing," he
            will describe the demographic, economic and technological
            trends that suggest that home health and wellness
            solutions are likely to be an enormous opportunity and
            challenge for proactive computing technologies.
            Eric Dishman, manager of Intel's proactive health research
            project, will discuss how Intel social scientists are
            conducting ethnographic studies of elder and boomer
            households to identify the most promising areas for home
            health technology development. He will describe the
            building and testing of context-aware, home sensor network
            systems to determine their efficacy in helping people
            maintain their independence, prevent disease and increase
            quality of life. By leading cross-industry and
            cross-university initiatives with such groups as the
            American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging
            (AAHSA), Eric will discuss Intel's work to catalyze an
            ecosystem of research to bring technology development to
            aging services.
            Following their keynotes, Tennenhouse and Dishman will
            join Larry Minnix, AAHSA president and CEO, Russell
            Bodoff, executive director of AAHSA's Center for Aging
            Services Technologies and Philippe Fauchet, director of
            the Center for Future Health, University of Rochester, for
            a press question and answer session on the future of
            technology and aging services.
