The Center for Intellectual Property, Tech & Telecommunications in Beachwood, OH is a pioneering organization that challenges young technology leaders to develop innovative tools aimed at enhancing the lives of older adults. Through collaborative research conducted by students from various educational institutions, including Shaker Heights High, North Olmsted High School, Cuyahoga Community College, and the University of California, Irvine, the center focuses on addressing the challenges of living on Mars, aging on Earth, and game design. By studying the physiological changes experienced in deep space and their correlation with the aging process on Earth, the center aims to design multi-purpose vehicles, deep space habitats, and diagnostic tools that can be implemented as technology aids for seniors, known as Gerontechnology.
With a strong emphasis on STEM learning, the center encourages students to engage in field work with seniors to gain practical insights and develop solutions that address issues such as bone loss, sensory and cognitive impairment, and isolation. The culmination of their efforts is the creation of a video game that incorporates the designed tools and technologies, providing an interactive and immersive experience. By bridging the gap between space exploration and the challenges faced by older adults, the Center for Intellectual Property, Tech & Telecommunications aims to foster innovation and improve the quality of life for seniors through the application of cutting-edge technology.
