In today's episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan welcomes neuroscientist, audiologist, and educator Kelly Tremblay, PhD, for a conversation about healthy aging, brain health, and the science behind longevity. Susan and Dr. Kelly also preview the upcoming AgingIN Conference 2026 and its highly anticipated Longevity Summit, where participants will explore the importance of knowing the difference between lifespan and healthspan. Dr. Kelly explains how the World Health Organization Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework offers a practical roadmap for supporting older adults through a holistic focus on mobility, cognition, communication, mental well-being, and meaningful participation in daily life. The conversation also highlights emerging technologies, community-based solutions, leadership lessons, and the importance of breaking down silos to create an ecosystem that supports people as they age.
