In the fourth and final blog entry of our Healthy Aging® Month series, Eliza Wong, PhD from the Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at The Chinese University of Hong Kong shares insights from her team’s latest research published in JMIR Aging.

In the third post for our Healthy Aging® Month video series, Hsiu-Ping Yueh, PhD fromNational Taiwan University gives an overview of her team’s research published in JMIR Aging. Joining her in the video are two Kebbi social robots, her "co-stars" in studying how technology can tackle social isolation in older adults.

In the second installment of our Healthy Aging® Month series, Baldwin Pok Man Kwan, MPH; a physiotherapist and project officer at Silverchain, shares insights from his team's recent research published in JMIR Aging.

This September for Healthy Aging® Month, JMIR Aging is bringing peer-reviewed science off the page and into daily life. We are spotlighting four articles and their lead authors in a dedicated video series that illustrates the direct connection between academic research and real-world impact. Each feature demonstrates how evidence-based digital health solutions are moving beyond theoretical design to actively empower older adults, caregivers, and technology developers, showing how digital tools can foster independence, purpose, and vitality in everyday living. In our first video feature for the series, Anna Whittaker, PhD from the University of Stirling shares key insights from her research published in JMIR Aging.

Sustaining peer review capacity amid rising submission volumes requires balancing three core elements: speed, quality, and expanding the reviewer workforce. By treating reviewer feedback as a collaborative editing process rather than a barrier, incorporating vetted early-career researchers into the reviewer pool, and utilizing transparent review models, the scientific community can drastically reduce publication bottlenecks without compromising integrity.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms clinical workflows, medical educators face a unique dilemma: How do we prepare trainees for an AI-driven future without undermining their core diagnostic skills?  A recent piece from the Yale School of Medicine caught our eye because it directly explores this double-edged sword. Written by Serena Crawford, Associate Communications Director at Yale School of Medicine, the Q&A highlights the pioneering work of Jaideep Talwalkar, MD, Associate Dean for Educational Technology and Innovation, as he examines how ambient AI scribes impact medical students.
