Save British Science Society (SBS). (1998). Políticas para el próximo gobierno en el área de ciencia y tecnología : Memorándum de Save British Science Society ( SBS ), marzo de 1996. Redes, 5(12), 77-110. ; Save British Science ( SBS ) es un grupo de acción en favor de la ciencia, entendida en su más amplio sentido, incorporando la ingeniería, la medicina y la tecnología, y con raíces en el ámbito académico. Desde su fundación –en 1986– SBS ha procurado interpretar el lugar que ocupa la ciencia en un contexto más amplio, que va desde los establecimientos de enseñanza hasta el uso de la ciencia que hace la industria para crear riqueza, y el logro de una mejor calidad de vida. SBS ha establecido buenos contactos tanto con la industria como con el sector financiero: industriales de primera línea forman parte del Consejo Consultivo de SBS y otros han participado en simposios organizados por la entidad. ; The Science and Engineering Research Base, the quality of the scientists and engineers working in the UK science and engineering research base is outstanding, and a national asset, but their potential is not being realised. Given adequate Government funding there is a unique opportunity for Britain to become The Laboratory of Europe, continuing our great tradition for discovery and forming a basis on which to build, and attract, high-tech, high value-added industries. As a nation Britain has been an under-achived. We must raise our horizons, become more professional at all levels. The re are only two options for Britain: become smarter or poorer.

Older adults have traditionally been the age cohort most resistant to the adoption of technology, making aging in place difficult and frequently expensive. But recent advances in technology - and those just on the horizon - have the potential to transform the ability to age in place by making senior healthcare both safer and more connected. Such technology can enable healthcare professionals to monitor their charges in real time, respond quickly to healthcare emergencies, make healthcare consultations safer and less onerous for both patients and healthcare workers, assist elders with physical therapy, connect older adults to family and friends, and provide entertainment and learning opportunities for seniors. It is now even possible for older adults in rural areas to receive remote surgery from world class surgeons. The arrival of COVID-19 forced older adults into isolation, severely limiting contact with healthcare providers, family and friends. But COVID-19 also accelerated the adoption of many of the trends already extant, incentivizing older adults and healthcare providers to adopt new technologies much more rapidly than ever before. The WelbeHealth Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in California's Central Valley, may provide a model of flexible, responsive and adaptive care.
