AHRQ Holding Webinar on Digital Health Care for Aging Populations

Sep 9, 2025

Per the notice below, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is holding a free Webinar on using digital health care to help aging populations.

AHRQ National Webinar

Prepping for the Future: Digital Solutions for Aging Populations

Register for the webinar on October 8, 2025, from 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. ET

As the population of older adults continues to grow, the need for innovative healthcare solutions has never been greater.  Digital technologies such as remote monitoring, telehealth, and personalized health apps are transforming care for older adults by enabling timely interventions, improving access, and supporting independence.  Join AHRQ’s expert panel to explore how these tools can improve health outcomes, overcome adoption barriers, and ensure older adults benefit from accessible, user-friendly, and effective digital solutions.  At the conclusion of the event, participants should be able to:

  • Identify key design principles for developing older adult-friendly digital health tools that integrate EHR data and natural language processing to support personalized health communication and shared decision-making.
  • Describe how telehealth-enabled transitional care models can improve medication adherence, self-management, and health outcomes in older adults following hospital discharge.
  • Explain how mobile apps and SMART on FHIR-enabled platforms can collect and integrate patient-generated health data to inform clinical decision-making in age-friendly care.

This event is part of AHRQ Digital Healthcare Research (DHR) Program national Webinar series.  Our Webinars showcase the latest scientific advancements and key conversations with experts around impactful research in the evolving digital healthcare ecosystem.  Access our National Webinar page for on-demand webinar recordings and upcoming events.

The Digital Healthcare Research Program’s mission is to determine how components of the digital healthcare ecosystem can best come together to positively affect healthcare delivery and create value for patients and their families.
