Stakeholder Engagement Core

The overarching goal of the Stakeholder Engagement Core (SEC) is to ensure that technology solutions and artificial intelligence approaches proposed and developed by the PennAITech Collaboratory are maximally adoptable by and accessible to their end users by soliciting ongoing stakeholder input and involving all key parties throughout all phases of the development and testing processes. Stakeholders include, but are not limited to, older adults with and without Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, family and other informal caregivers, physicians, nurses and other clinicians involved in the care of older adults, administrators, policy makers and technology partners. The aims of this core are to 1) establish, maintain and grow a technology consortium (consisting of technology companies, startups, venture capital firms, and angel investors) that will provide guidance and collaboration opportunities for pilot projects and a platform for potential dissemination and commercialization of innovative tools; 2) engage older adults with and without Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, family and community members especially in rural and underserved areas in all activities of the PennAITech Collaboratory; 3) engage clinicians and allied health professionals involved in the care of older adults in activities of the PennAITech Collaboratory; and 4) engage policy makers and the public in knowledge translation and dissemination activities.
