SUMMARY:Wearable Robotics for Aging Populations
DESCRIPTION:IEEE AgeTech is hosting a 2-hour virtual webinar bringing together global experts in wearable robotics\, rehabilitation engineering\, biomechanics\, and AgeTech innovation to discuss the future of mobility\, independence\, rehabilitation\, and healthy aging. The event focuses on clinical translation\, international standardization efforts\, AI integration\, and real-world implementation challenges for wearable robotic technologies targeting aging populations. \nPanel discussion theme: “What Will It Take for Wearable Robotics to Become Mainstream AgeTech?” \nDiscussion topics include clinical validation and evidence\, human-centered design for aging populations\, AI-integrated wearable robotics\, accessibility and affordability\, ISO/IEC medical robotics standardization\, real-world implementation and deployment\, industry–academia collaboration\, and future directions for healthy longevity. \nModerator: Bong-Keun “Andrew” Jung\, OTD\, University of Southern California (USC). \nPanelists:\n– Jan Veneman\, University of Twente\, Netherlands\n– Sungwoo Park\, PhD\, University of Southern California (USC)\n– Inhyuk Moon\, PhD\, Dong-Eui University\, South Korea \nAbout the IEEE AgeTech Wearable Robotics Committee:\nIEEE AgeTech describes wearable robotics as exoskeletons\, powered orthotics\, and soft wearable systems designed to augment mobility\, strength\, endurance\, and postural stability across the aging and care ecosystem. These technologies support functional independence\, fall risk reduction\, rehabilitation\, and enabling daily activities for older adults and others\, while also reducing physical workload\, musculoskeletal injury risk\, and task-related strain for caregivers\, clinicians\, and service providers. The committee page emphasizes user-specific adaptation\, real-time monitoring\, data-driven decision support\, interoperability\, safety certification\, and ethical deployment for safe\, scalable\, and sustainable use across home\, community\, and formal care settings. \nIEEE AgeTech leadership lists Bong-Keun (Andrew) Jung\, University of Southern California (USC)\, as chair and Richard Harvey\, University of Southern California (USC)\, as co-chair of the Wearable Robotics Committee. \nLinks: \nEvent page: https://agetech.ieee.org/events/wearable-robotics-for-aging-populations/\nRegistration page: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cUJxH_xjSke8EMdD3DRHlA\nCommittee page: https://agetech.ieee.org/about/committees/wearable-robotics/\nIEEE AgeTech leadership page: https://agetech.ieee.org/about/leadership/

SUMMARY:Kanagawa-Maryland Healthy Aging and ME-BYO Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Kanagawa–Maryland Healthy Aging and ME-BYO Symposium brings together leaders from government\, academia\, healthcare\, and industry to discuss innovative responses to the challenges of an aging society. \nThe program focuses on ME-BYO (未病)\, Kanagawa Prefecture’s health concept describing the changing continuum between health and illness. The approach emphasizes self-management\, precision health\, preventive healthcare\, and advanced life-science and healthcare technologies that can help people remain healthier for longer. \nFor the exoskeleton and rehabilitation-robotics community\, the symposium is especially relevant because it connects healthy-aging policy and research with mobility-supporting robotic technologies. Dr. Yoshihiro Yasunaga of CYBERDYNE Inc. and the ROBOCARE Center Group is scheduled to provide an industry perspective on technologies that can support mobility\, independence\, and quality of life. The published program does not advertise a live exoskeleton demonstration. \nFeatured speakers\n\nYuji Kuroiwa — Governor\, Kanagawa Prefecture\, Japan (participation listed as TBC)\nDr. Dana Burr Bradley — Dean\, Erickson School of Aging Studies\, UMBC\nCarol E. “Liz” Woodward — Assistant Secretary for Planning\, Maryland Department of Aging\nStephen McHugh — Chief Program Officer\, Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE USA)\nDr. Yoshihiro Yasunaga — Executive Officer\, Sales & Marketing\, CYBERDYNE Inc.; CEO\, ROBOCARE Center Group\nModerator: Dr. Takashi Yamashita — Professor of Sociology\, Anthropology\, Public Health\, and the Gerontology Ph.D. Program\, UMBC\n\nEvent details\n\nDate: Monday\, July 20\, 2026\nTime: 2:30–4:00 p.m. EDT\nVenue: The Skylight Room\, The Commons\, 3rd Floor\, UMBC\, 1000 Hilltop Circle\, Baltimore\, MD 21250\nCost: No fee listed\nRegistration: Kanagawa–Maryland Healthy Aging and ME-BYO Symposium sign-up form\nContact: yamataka@umbc.edu\n\nRegistration note: The sign-up form asks for a full name\, affiliation\, email address\, and a required yes/no response regarding photo and video use. \nParking: UMBC lists metered visitor garages at Administration Drive\, The Commons Drive\, and Walker Avenue. Weekday meter rules apply. Review UMBC directions and parking information before traveling. \nOfficial UMBC event listing
