2025 AgeTech Showcases the Latest Technology for Seniors

This year's Computer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas January 7-10, featured the AgeTech Summit from AARP, where industry experts and advocates gathered to explore the transformative potential of technology for aging.

With more than 500 companies across diverse industries and product categories, the collaborative annually plays a unique role in connecting innovators and solutions that are shaping the future of aging.

AgeTech solutions have emerged across various sectors at CES over the past three years, including entertainment, travel, gaming, housing, health and mobility.

According to the AARP 2025 Tech Trends survey, two-thirds of adults ages 50 and older (66%) expect technology to enrich their lives by making daily tasks and aging easier.

Additionally, nearly half of adults (46%) recognize technology's potential to enable a healthy life, with strong interest in brain health technologies such as brain training exercises and wearables to track sleep and stress levels.
