In this episode of Advancing Health Care Through Simulation, host Lisa George welcomes Jocelyn Rempel, Chair in Older Adult Health at Mount Royal University, Founding Director of the Centre for Health and Innovation in Aging, gerontology nurse, educator and researcher, and co-founder of Rise Care, a health innovation company dedicated to improving care for older adults.
Jocelyn shares how education, simulation, virtual care and emerging health technologies are helping older adults maintain their independence while preparing healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, person-centered care across hospitals, communities and home settings.
The conversation explores why older adults should be active partners in designing healthcare innovations, how wearable technologies could help reduce falls, and the growing role of remote monitoring and virtual care in supporting healthier aging. Jocelyn also discusses how simulation can help organizations test new technologies before implementation and explains why collaboration across healthcare, industry and education is essential to improving care.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why healthcare education must prepare learners for care across hospitals, homes and communities
- Why older adults should help design the technologies intended for them
- How wearable vestibular stimulation technology could improve balance and reduce falls
- The growing impact of virtual care and remote patient monitoring
- How simulation can safely test new technologies, workflows and models of care
- Why collaboration is essential to improving care for an aging population
- What gives Jocelyn optimism about the future of healthy aging and healthcare innovation
Whether you're a healthcare professional, educator, researcher, student or innovator, this episode offers practical insights into building more accessible, person-centered care for an aging population while embracing new technologies that support independence and quality of life.
