AbstractGerontechnology, unlike the goddess Venus, did not arrive in the world fully formed. Rather, its origins over the past 50 years may be traced to small beginnings in disparate locations that collectively gave rise to the vibrant organization whose mission falls squarely in the ongoing health policy debates of nations struggling to meet the demands of their aging citizenries. In this editorial we describe the growth of gerontechnology from its humble beginnings to a significant force for changing our conceptualizations of aging and aged persons.Keywords: gerontechnology, technology and aging, aging and health, gerontology
