Public Workshop Agendas
The commission held three workshops to gather information and convene global actors, and benefited substantially from expertise shared at each. The first, Social, Behavioral, and Environmental Enablers for Healthy Longevity, was held in Washington, DC, and hosted by AARP. The second, Health Care and Public Health Systems for Healthy Longevity, was held in Singapore and hosted by the National University Health System, Singapore. The final, Science and Technology for Healthy Longevity, was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WORKSHOP 1 AGENDA
Social, Behavioral, and Environmental Enablers for Healthy Longevity: A Workshop for the Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity Initiative
AARP
601 E Street, NW
Washington, DC
November 6–8, 2019
Objectives
This 3-day public workshop will examine the social, behavioral, and environmental enablers for healthy longevity. Workshop participants will discuss
the challenges and opportunities, as well as potential solutions and disruptive approaches to enhance social structures and living environments that would enable healthier and socially fulfilled lives and ultimately create thriving societies around the world.
Specifically, this workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on topics including
- theoretical foundations and key concepts and definitions for equitable healthy longevity;
- existing evidence on the social, behavioral, and environmental enablers of healthy longevity, including determinants, pathways, and policy entry points;
- critical challenges and gaps in current approaches for creating social and environmental structures that promote healthy behaviors across the life course and enable aging populations to lead meaningful and productive lives;
- key successes of policies and programs in targeting the social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of health related to healthy longevity;
- opportunities, approaches, and potential priorities—including the consideration of data, indicators, and measures that should be collected—for designing and applying social, behavioral, and environmental enablers to guide effective multisectoral solutions and actions that foster integrative care without medicalizing these solutions; and
- effective mechanisms for stimulating meaningful collaboration among various relevant stakeholders across sectors and disciplines.

National University Health System Tower Block
1E Kent Ridge Rd
Singapore
February 3–4, 2020
Objectives
This 2-day public workshop will examine potential approaches and reforms across the entire spectrum of norms, institutions, and systems that provide health- and social-related services to address the multidimensional needs of older populations. Workshop participants will discuss the challenges and opportunities, as
well as potential solutions, that would enhance the design of health and long-term care systems, including clinical services, health promotion, disease prevention services, and social care to foster the capacity and ability of aging societies around the world.
Specifically, this workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on topics including the following:
- Existing evidence on the strengths and weaknesses of the entire spectrum of norms, institutions, and systems providing health care, health promotion, and preventive services for aging populations, including clinical care provided in primary, secondary, and tertiary settings, self-care, community-based services, and social care and support. These discussions will also identify the potential for innovative new approaches in these areas.
- Critical challenges and gaps in current approaches for ensuring an appropriately skilled and sustainable workforce, including informal caregivers, to address the needs of older adults.
- Key successes and failures of policies and programs targeting access to and quality of health care, health promotion, and preventive services across the life course that affect healthy longevity.
- Health financing and policy tools to guide effective multisectoral solutions and actions to reform service delivery, public health systems, and community capacity in ways that will have a positive impact on aging.

WORKSHOP 3
Science and Technology for Healthy Longevity: A Workshop for the Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity Initiative
Virtual – June 15 and 17, 2021
Objectives
This 2-day public workshop will explore science and technology research and development for enabling healthy longevity. Workshop participants will explore and suggest avenues for innovative and groundbreaking research and development across basic, clinical, pharmaceutical, social and behavioral sciences, bioengineering, information technology, and assistive technologies. Approaches to expanding research funding and incentivizing research in the area will also be examined. Discussions may include
- mechanisms of aging and regeneration, tissue destruction and repair, and cellular death and survival with a focus on corrective interventions using both conventional means with small molecules and antibodies and emerging therapeutic modalities using cells, genes, nucleic acids, and designer proteins;
- advances in information technologies including the development of large databases, machine learning, and artificial intelligence tools that will inform approaches to therapeutic interventions but also to enhancing quality of life;
- emerging engineering technologies based on software and mechanical design that hold promise for monitoring the health and activity of the elderly as well as enhancing their mobility and functionality to help them continue to live productive lives; and
- implications for investment in research and development, regulation, commercialization, and scalability, including issues pertaining to ethics and equality.
Workshop speakers and discussants will be drawn from government, academia, private, civil society, and nonprofit sectors from the local to global levels. Proceedings of the workshop discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines as part of a three workshop series on healthy longevity.
