Abstract As the caregiver ratio declines, technology will play an increasingly important role in supporting formal and informal caregivers. This presentation will report on the particular effects that frontier technologies may have on various tasks associated with caregiving, including assisting with basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). The expert panel predicted that different technologies and new products will have varied effects on caregiving tasks, and that some tasks may be more impacted than others. Some of the key opportunities and barriers to integrating technologies into various tasks of caregiving will be discussed.

Objectives Mexican Americans live longer on average than other ethnic groups, but often with protracted cognitive and physical disability. Little is known, however, about the role of cognitive decline for transitions in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) disability and tertiary outcomes of the IADL disablement for the oldest old (after 80 years old). Methods We employ the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (2010–2011, 2012–2013, and 2016, N = 1,078) to investigate the longitudinal patterns of IADL decline using latent transition analysis. Results Three IADL groups were identified: independent (developing mobility limitations), emerging dependence (limited mobility and community activities), and dependent (limited mobility and household and community activities). Declines in cognitive function were a consistent predictor of greater IADL disablement, and loneliness was a particularly salient distal outcome for emerging dependence. Discussion These results highlight the social consequences of cognitive decline and dependency as well as underscore important areas of intervention at each stage of the disablement process.
