AB Electronic  assistive  technologies  for  activities  of  daily  living  and  safety  are  widely  available,  but  the  evidence  base  is  limited.Telemedicine  includes  remote  patient  monitoring  for  disease  management,  store-and-forward/asynchronous  technology,  and  real-time  videoconferencing.Age  is  not  a  major  determinant  of  technology  use;  however,  factors  such  as  geography,  income,  and  education  are  associated  with  disparate  levels  of  access  to  and  use  of  technology.Clinicians  must  participate  in  the  ethical  implementation  of  telemedicine  technologies.Older  adults  should  be  included  in  development  of  technologies  meant  for  their  use.
