Abstract
Most older adults want to remain in their homes and independent for as long as possible. The field of gerontechnology emerged to advance aging-in-place possibilities in response to a globally increasing population of persons aged 65 and over. Yet, significant challenges to technology adoption remain. Gerontology nurse scientists and practitioners are well-positioned to address these challenges. However, they remain underrepresented in the field. No formal organization exists where international nurses leading technological innovations can collaborate and share knowledge - keeping up with the pace of innovation. We introduce the new Global Gerontechnology Center for Nursing Science, and share the mission, vision, values, and action plan. We invite nurse scientists and practitioners leading innovative gerontechnology research, and their interdisciplinary partners, to collaborate to advance possibilities for optimal aging in a digital world globally.
