SESSION: Global aging population: peril of end-of-life care crisis and promise of human centered re-design.
After defining the problem for USA and similar system, we will discuss example on how can we ‘survive’ our own mortality and overcome the “crisis” of end-of-life care. We will specifically review selected end-of-life care innovation and discuss how more empathetic practices serve to solve the concerns.
