Based within ESD, the AgeLab conducts
multi-disciplinary research to understand
longevity as a complex system involving
older adult behavior; technology;
and, innovations in business strategy
and government policy. Addressing
multiple domains including –
transportation, financial services,
health and eldercare, and technology
policy, he has published his research
on product, services and policy innovation
in both business and policy journals.
In February, 2008 the Wall
Street Journal recognized him
as one of America’s 12 pioneers
inventing the future of retirement
and aging. Dr. Coughlin was named
a Home Health Hero by the
Visiting Nurse Association for his
research in technology-enabled innovation
in home healthcare services for the
elderly. He is the 2008 recipient
of the Gerontological

A. Pollack Award for Productive Aging
recognizing the successful translation
of research into practical application
and policy improving the lives of
older people.

businesses and governments worldwide.
He assisted the World
Economic Forum in the development
of scenarios for its "Financing
Demographic Shifts Report" addressing
health and pension policies in aging
societies. He is currently a member
of the World
Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council
on Demographic Shifts. In 2005
President Bush appointed him to the
White House Conference on Aging Advisory
Committee where he served on the group’s
Market Innovations sub-committee.
Dr.
Coughlin leads the New
England University Transportation
Center, a US
Department of Transportation-sponsored
research, education, and technology
transfer consortium of MIT, Harvard
