LHS Collaboratory-LHS as a Driver of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Healthcare and health remain unconscionably inequitable.

Older Adults, Tech Use, and Social Well-Being during COVID-19 and Beyond

However, these technologies may not be accessible for all older adults. Voice-based technologies such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant can be more accessible to those with motor challenges or vision loss/blindness, yet have not been studied in-depth for…
