How Boston Is Poised to Become the Nation’s Leading Longevity Hub

[excerpt] "At the MIT AgeLab, meanwhile, Coughlin and his team of social scientists, engineers, and clinicians are collaborating with John Hancock to create the first annual longevity index, designed to assess the readiness of Americans to live longer, healthier, and better lives. “Few people are prepared for how long retirement will be,” Coughlin says. “We want them to consider what their social portfolio might entail as they age, along with mobility and seeing their home as a service platform with sensors and devices that can help you age in place.” Getting to stay at home forever? Now that’s living the dream."
