Digital Frontiers in AgeTech and Frailty
Wed Jan 28 2026
Believe in Balance Podcast Episode 17
Host: David Dansereau, MSPT, CAPS
Last week I had the opportunity to attend Digital Frontiers in Frailty: Opportunities for Early Detection and Clinical Action, a hybrid full day workshop hosted by the Massachusetts AI & Technology Center (MassAITC) that brought together clinicians, engineers, researchers, and innovators to reimagine how we detect, monitor, and ultimately acton frailty in aging adults. The following episode and companion article linked below in these show notes is my review and takeaways from the workshop.
As a physical therapist deeply invested in preserving independence, functional mobility, and strength across the lifespan for my clients, what struck me most was how consistently movement, exercise capacity, balance integrity, and strength emerged as central themes in every session — not just as outcomes to measure, but as actionable targets for intervention.
