Registration is now open for the NNLM Region 6 webinar “Designing for Health Literacy: Exploring Emerging Intelligent Technologies to Support Older Adults’ Health Information Access and Management”. It will take place on Thursday, November 10, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more details, including the link to registration.
According to Healthy People 2030, personal health literacy is the degree to which individuals can find, understand, and use information and services to make well-informed decisions regarding their health. Addressing individual challenges related to personal health literacy is key to helping reduce health disparities, achieve health equity, and improve overall public health. Yet, older adults 65 years of age or older disproportionately experience challenges that affect their levels of health literacy, ultimately impacting their ability to age successfully.
In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Martin-Hammond will provide an overview of her research that explores the challenges older adults encounter when finding, understanding, and using health information to inform personal health decisions. She will also share her work examining the benefits and barriers of emerging artificially enabled technologies for addressing these challenges, and older adults’ perceptions of how these technologies might support them in better accessing and managing care.
This webinar is part of the NNLM Region 6 Speaker Spotlight Series. Attendees may earn 1.00 CE credit.
