Diving deep into AgeTech: A curated resource for innovation in aging I've always been fascinated by technology's potential to improve lives, especially for our aging population. Recently, I've taken a deep dive into the world of AgeTech, and I'm astounded by the breadth and depth of innovation in this space. To help others navigate this rapidly evolving field, I've compiled a comprehensive database of 280+ AgeTech companies, spanning categories such as: - Health & Wellness - Medication Management - Senior Living Solutions - Independence Technologies - Fall Prevention & Detection - Companionship & Communication - Home Care Innovations - Caregiver Support - Cognitive Care - Healthcare Provider Tools - End-of-Life Planning This project was inspired by Keren Etkin of TheGerontechnologist.com and her excellent AgeTech Market Map 2024. I've expanded on her work to create a detailed resource for anyone interested in the intersection of aging and technology. Her market maps have amazed me for the last 3+ years. A glimpse into Assistive Tech in AgeTech: Assistive technologies are revolutionizing how we approach aging. From AI-powered health monitoring to smart home systems for independent living, these innovations are enhancing safety, social connection, and quality of life for older adults.

"It's the social model of disability. It's making any environment around you immediately accessible within seconds. And in such a way that you can move it with you where you go." Had a great time on Access Tech Live, chatting about 2 of my favorite things: Lotus (Techstars'23) and accessible tech. 🙌 Accessible Media Inc. #accessibility #AssistiveTechnology #IndependentLiving

What if your home could adapt to your needs as you age, not the other way around? A staggering 77% of adults believe it's important to age in place, rather than moving to a new home or neighborhood that's better suited to their needs (Source: AARP & Michigan Medicine, 2022). But are our homes equipped to support this desire? Our State of AgeTech Report explores this question, revealing a growing opportunity to harness technology for greater independence, safety, and well-being. We examine the opportunities, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of AgeTech, including smart home solutions that can support aging in place. Notably, our report highlights our innovative participant startups like Lotus (Techstars'23), ZIBRIO, and Casana, who are pioneering solutions that make aging easier. From wearable rings controlling smart home objects to smart toilet seats enabling effortless health monitoring, these innovators are redefining the aging experience. Follow along as we unpack the report's key insights and discover how technology can enhance the aging experience: https://lnkd.in/eAeD5aPy #AgeTech #SmartHomes #FutureOfAging #AgingInPlace
