Meeting Room:grandcare
(Optional Dial-in)

AGENDA:
1. Announcements

2. Highlighted Caller – each week we will highlight one caller to give a brief introduction

3. Topic: Assistive Technology: Knowledge Gaps – Risk Management Issues & the Medical Device Link

Patrece Banks has spent the last 5 years researching falls, mobility issues relating to medical devices and assistive technology devices. Mobility is key to independence and devices play a major role yet little is understood when it comes to intended use, safety, risk management and paying for it. The correlation between assistive technology and medical devices is not understood although medical devices are coming to the forefront in areas of safety, efficacy and intended use.

In 2008 Patrece Banks was recognized as one of the most innovative product designers for Outta Bed®. She is the Aging-In-Place Columnist for Baby Boomer Knowledge Center and a participant in the FDA Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup. Patrece is a consultant, innovator, speaker and writer focusing on Seniors/Boomers, risk management, and Aging-In-Place issues.
