McKnight’s Newsmakers Podcast: Jeremy Walston, MD, on founding a new type of aging collaborative

Episode Summary

Many aging researchers focus on better understanding the biological causes of aging or on policy interventions that may make growing older a little easier. The new Johns Hopkins Human Aging Project is taking a different track, viewing functional and cognitive decline through a technological lens through which geriatricians, engineers and biology experts hope to transform how we define “aging well.”

Episode Notes

This episode covers the Human Aging Project’s initial pilot projects, major grant funding, the role of artificial intelligence in identifying and addressing declines, and how nursing home residents might benefit from the collaboration.
