GSA-TAG Profile

GSA-TAG (Technology & Aging Group of the Gerontological Society of America) is a diverse group with a common interest in the research and practice of applying technology to meeting the needs of society.

GSA-TAG was founded as an “informal interest group” by Dr. Gari Lesnoff-Caravaglia in 1987, who also served as Convener from 1987 to 1999. In 1989, GSA awarded GSA-TAG formal status, permitting one Interest Group Symposium at each Annual Scientific Meeting, in addition to other workshops and symposia.

Membership in GSA-TAG provides an opportunity for networking activities in the realm of gerontechnology. GSA-TAG is comprised of academics, researchers, industry, and practitioners, as well as students, working in the field of gerontology and technology. Membership and participation in GSA-TAG does not require membership in the Gerontological Society of America and is open to all.
