REGINA - The Centre on Aging and Health at the University of Regina has announced Dominic Carter, CEO of the Carter Group, will present the 2024-25 Distinguished Lecture titled, Live Long, Die Short: Aging at the Intersection of Technology, Philosophy, and Purpose.
Most recently, Carter was the keynote speaker at the 2024 Annual Convention of the AGE WELL Network of Technology and Aging which comprises more than 300 funded and affiliated researchers from 50 universities and research centres across Canada.
A long-time resident of Japan, Dominic Carter explores the Japanese philosophies of ikigai (personal purpose) and pin pin korori (live long, die short) to provide valuable insights for addressing the challenges of aging. He will discuss how the development and adoption of technology for aging adults can align with deeper values of purpose and fulfillment.
In 2022, Carter co-founded Living Best, a community network comprising mature consumers, start-ups, and professionals focused on making age-tech user friendly and widely accepted. Living Best’s goal is to transform the aging experience in Japan, and beyond, through the mass adoption of technology created for and co-created by its users.
This public lecture is free, to be held Thursday, March 27, at 6:30 p.m. at the University Theatre, Riddell Centre, Main Campus.
