Presentation at the 2024
Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES)
Presentations serve as a strategic tool for conveying current and future trends in ageing policy in a clear accessible way. By using a cross-sectional approach, they integrate diverse data points, case studies, and stakeholder perspectives that help to explain complex ageing-related issues to stimulate dialogue across disciplines and sectors. These presentations function as a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration, aligning global ageing strategies with policy innovations and demographic insights.
Preview of the presentation Dr. Barratt gave at the GIES Sumit, “The Impact of Spatial Data and Geospatial Technology in Fostering Age-Friendly Communities”.
