What if getting older felt like an upgrade?

​A long walk with friends. A meal enjoyed at your own pace. Moving through your home, on your own, even at 2am if you feel like it.  These aren't trivial actions - they are life-affirming activities that get harder as we grow older. So, we're excited to bring you advanced technology that gives you the agency to keep doing them, at any age.

​

​Try on the future. Literally. You'll demo breakthrough robotic and assistive tech products - and talk directly with the founders who are building them. Your feedback shapes next revs, and your voice joins a wider conversation about scaling these solutions to everyone who needs them.

​Alex Malashchenko | Revimo - The Niko, a personal powered lift that makes moving from bed to chair to bathroom a one-person operation with a joystick - elegant, dignified, no slings, no two-person transfers, no waiting on a caregiver.

​

​Will Muter | Reachable - The Omnicuff, a universal grip device that puts forks, cups, phones and more back in hand - giving people with Parkinson's and neurological conditions greater control and spontaneity.

​

​Matt Cumella | Nuvio Mobility – Nuvio Pro, an intelligent walker that combines advanced mobility support with embedded sensing, turning everyday mobility into real-time clinical-grade insight.

​

​Jenny Baldasarre | Deaconess Abundant Living - Senior Living operator point of view on what works, what doesn't, and what innovators should keep in mind to help scale in congregate care communities.

​Older adults are on the frontlines of the world's climate crisis. From extreme temperatures that exacerbate heat-related and respiratory conditions, to fierce storms that limit mobility and lead to anxiety-filled displacement, the systems upon which older adults rely - healthcare, energy, transportation, housing, and community services - must adapt. 

​

​Join us to hear innovative ideas at the intersection of Climate Tech and AgeTech to build more resilient communities, enhance well-being, and sustain living environments for aging well.​

Longer lifespans are a modern miracle; and an economic dilemma.

 

In a few short years, the first baby boomer turns 80 years old, and by 2030 all boomers will be over 65.  Many rely on dwindling retirement savings that barely cover the costs of their daily care.  Even fewer of us will be able to pay the estimated $50k-$100k+ in annual expenses for help around the house and basic activities like showering, taking medicine, preparing meals, and getting to doctor’s appointments. 

 

When kids step in to help, they often leave the workforce mid-career to become unpaid family caregivers, kicking off a cascading financial impact to their own wealth horizons. 

 

With only 7% of Americans covered by long-term care insurance, how can we afford to grow old?  

​

Join us for a provocative conversation on the emerging crisis in eldercare financing; We’ll explore wide-open opportunities for fintech entrepreneurs, advisors, policymakers, and enterprises to creatively solve a universal need to fund the real costs of aging. ​

Over 50% of consumers in the developed world use voice assistants in their daily life, from calling home from their car, to searching the internet, to bringing up their favorite music and ordering products and services. Voice First and AI platforms are poised to transform the way we carry out everyday tasks, interact with loved ones and access what we want or need. For older adults, these low-tech, low-cost technologies not only improve their lives, but allow them to stay independent.

​

Join us to learn how companies who create products geared to the 50+ demographic have integrated voice into their designs. Our speakers have deep experience in voice technology as well as first-hand knowledge of what works—and doesn’t-- how to incorporate voice into a product and design experiences to match the unique needs of older users.

The massive demographic shift in aging is generating unprecedented entrepreneurial opportunities. The world needs scalable, tech-enabled innovations that serve the evolving needs of the rapidly increasing older adult population.

​

This emerging phenomenon – The Longevity Economy- will drive change in every aspect of life from health care and social services to new hardware and software solutions that allow people to live truly connected, healthier fulfilling lives.

​

Today’s 50+ year-olds control almost 80% of US aggregate net worth and they are increasingly more tech-savvy. They are heavy users of the Internet and social networking, they spend more money online than either Gen X or Gen Y consumers and they are looking for innovations to help them age well, including access to affordable and quality:

• lifelong engagement and aging in community

• medical care

• economic security

• service-enriched housing

• mobility

• assistance with activities of daily living

• age-friendly products that are designed without stigma

• radical advances in brain health and chronic disease management

 

Companies that fully grasp the opportunities generated by the Longevity Economy will enjoy a 106 million-plus market (in the U.S.) that is expected to spend $20 billion in 2020 for elder focused products and services alone.

 

Come learn how you can participate in the Longevity Economy from industry thought leaders and entrepreneurs who are blazing the trail.

Watch->> Conference Sizzle Highlights

Join us to explore how advanced biomarker technologies can provide useful insights into health status, disease onset and progression. We'll keep it applied: how relevant are they to our daily lives now, and what is required for us to optimize these technologies for scale. Like any emerging tech, adoption follows a curve . . . Innovators try first, early adopters refine use, most people wait for clear proof, simple workflows, fair access, strong privacy, and less risk. We'll map that path for this new class of digital tools that can peer into our bodies and promise more agency for our aging journey.

​The biggest threat to aging at home is our ability to manage our Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s).  How might we innovate to help older adults age with dignity and confidence at home?

 

Learn how to collaborate with global consumer goods brand leader Procter & Gamble to innovate and serve the world’s growing aging population.

Learn powerful messaging strategies to talk about older people in ways that inspire and resonate, and steer clear of ageism bias.

A “Reframing Aging” approach is essential to shape your brand, grow your company, and connect meaningfully with consumers and stakeholders of all ages.

 

Why?

If you aim to serve the world’s aging populations, it's worth taking a very careful look for outdated or offensive ageism that may be baked into your marketing and products.

​

Language choices about older people – whether subtle or overt -- often reflect an implicit bias that can adversely impact the way your business communicates with millions of potential customers. You may be using images and phrases that you “think” are positive, but may actually be patronizing to your listeners. For instance:

• Are your business decisions based on misperceptions about aging and older people?

• Does your product strategy reflect negative assumptions about the purchasing power, wealth, fashion, technology adoption, lived experiences, and empathy of older people?

• Do your marketing campaigns use stereotypical narratives and images about older people that can trigger deeply ingrained, and potentially damaging, ways of thinking about aging?

 

Reframing Aging

Reframing Aging will help you shift perceptions about the aging journey, ageism and issues important to older people.

​

This proven model, developed by the FrameWorks Institute, draws on anthropology, neuroscience, socio-linguistics, and other behavioral disciplines. Their Strategic Frame Analysis® taps into decades of research on how people think and communicate.

Join us to learn how to:

• Identify ageism and dominant misperceptions

• Avoid words that can derail your messages

• Encourage openness to new ideas

• Invite customers to connect with your brand

• Shape a modern and inclusive view of growing older

​

Speakers

Presented by Alrie McNiff Daniels, Senior Communications Officer for Tufts Health Plan Foundation, and a certified FrameWorks Institute Reframing Aging facilitator. Tufts Health Plan Foundation invests in initiatives that improve the health and wellness of the diverse communities we serve; Our vision is to honor and support communities working to be great places to grow up and grow old.

Calling all innovators, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders . . . we need your ingenuity to serve our aging population!

The Division of Aging at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is developing breakthrough programs of integrated care that help older patients, along with their families and caregivers, to thrive.

Yet, the rising demand for hospitals to treat older adults - particularly those who suffer with chronic conditions, frailty, and/or cognitive decline - are outpacing their ability to provide affordable quality care at scale.

 

Innovation is the key.

 

Come learn how your startup can solve the unmet needs in the medical care system.

You'll hear directly from geriatricians, nurses, and rehab specialists as they share what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to be done to help hospitals:

• Improve care coordination to ensure that patients (and their data) seamlessly transition between care settings in hospitals, rehab centers, and home

• Apply advanced genetic and medical research to create customized treatment and prevention strategies that extend quality lifespans

• Integrate technology (sensors, voice, smartphones, etc.) to allow older people to live independently for as long as possible

• Better assess the interdisciplinary touchpoints required to deliver holistic geriatric care that respects the needs and wishes of each patient

• Optimize clinical care in a manner that reduces costs, burdens, readmissions, and inefficiencies system-wide.

 

Join us for a conversation to spark ideas for new products, devices, tools and services. You’ll meet geriatric experts and fellow innovators who can help turn your ideas into commercial successes.

Kristin Cardin, N.P. – Geriatric Nurse

Provides inpatient consult care and home visits for frail elderly patients, with deep expertise in physical rehabilitation, nursing and information management approaches relating to the care of older adults.
