Description Angle down icon An icon in the shape of an angle pointing down.

The U.S. Census indicated that there will be more Americans older than 65 than those younger than 5 by 2020. Applied Mind's Bran Ferren created a bionic suit that replicates the ailments that the elderly experience as they get older. The suit is part of Genworth's Aging Experience, an exhibit designed to get younger Americans thinking about the struggles of an aging population.
