Upcoming Webinar – From AI Validation to Evidence: Proving Readiness for Real-World Aging Care Systems

Zoom Registration: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/TQr7brHuS_SYf1O3AXYJQA Abstract: Artificial intelligence is increasingly being deployed to support aging populations through applications such as remote monitoring, fall detection, cognitive assessment, and caregiver support. While many AI systems demonstrate strong performance in pilot studies, only a small fraction successfully translate into safe, reliable, and scalable real-world deployments. A key challenge lies in the gap between validation and real-world evidence. Traditional evaluation approaches emphasize model performance, but aging care environments introduce additional complexities—including multimorbidity, heterogeneous living conditions, and safety-critical decision contexts—that are often not adequately captured during pilot validation. This webinar presents a structured approach to moving from AI validation to evidence-driven deployment readiness for aging care systems. The session will explore lifecycle-based evaluation methods spanning data, model development, pilot testing, real-world deployment, and continuous monitoring. It will highlight approaches for assessing fairness…
