Weight Loss Drugs and Older Adults - Deep Dive

The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
