This episode’s discussion features innovations from this year’s 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including holographic beaming anywhere in the world, a medical records organization platform that improves health outcomes, and an easier way for older loved ones to tell their stories.

This show was recorded on March 7, 2024, and included the following guests in the order they presented:

David Nussbaum, CEO at Proto Hologram, an innovation that's allowing us to beam in “live” to meetings, in holographic form. “Proto delivers a truly lifelike holographic experience so viewers see, hear, and interact with others anywhere in the world.” The possibilities are pretty endless and encompass many of our favorite topics, such as telehealth, remote PT or OT training, caregiver support, etc. Consumer version to be released in near future. This is as close as we’re gonna get to beaming for now, Scottie! Exhibitor and member AgeTech Collaborative from AARP.

Jean Ross, RN, CEO and Co-Founder of Primary Record, offers both a B2C and B2B solution that brings data together in one place so that care team members can efficiently access their receiver’s care-related data. Primary Record helps with: Identifying the information needed, organizing it and sharing it, and can even go so far as helping by recording a doctor’s appointment, and making a transcript. One big benefit: once you’ve entered your details into Primary Record, you will be able to “share” that with other medical and healthcare-related entities. Exhibitor near AgeTech Collaborative from AARP.

Cameron Graham, CEO and Co-Founder of Storii, which was developed with healthcare professionals and is available in 10 countries. Storii records life stories by engaging older adults in telling stories about their lives, without writing a word. With Storii, the subscriber (say your grandmother, or even your mom) gets three automated calls a week, asking them key questions that allow them to tell their stories in audio. The recordings can be packaged into “audio books” and remain as a legacy – or it can be more casual. Since Storii can be delivered in many ways (including landline), there is good accessibility. Finalist AgeTech After Dark AgeTech Collaborative from AARP pitch competition.

All great innovations from caring companies!

This episode highlights innovations from this year’s 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including a revolutionary way of monitoring heart health, a robot that can read and react to human facial expressions, and a possible remote patient monitoring ecosystem that can help address medical professional shortages in rural areas.

This show (recorded on February 15, 2024) included the following guests in the order they presented:

Dr. Anna Barnacka, Founder and CEO of MindMics, which brings scientific expertise to wearable tech to help with managing our health (and especially our hearts). Similar to an earbud (and using the ear as a speaker), this award winning product is moving quickly from monitoring to actually helping with diagnosis of cardiovascular issues. With heart disease being the number one killer worldwide, interesting and revolutionary ways of monitoring heart health are in high demand. Exhibitor in the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP Pavilion.

Mohammad H. Mahoor Ph.D, Founder and CEO of Dreamfacetech.com, and the robot Ryan (which Co-Host Linda Sherman saw in action at CES – leading a yoga session)! Mohammed’s specialty in the emotional side of machine learning helped to develop Ryan’s recognition, empathy, and engagement based on our facial expressions and voices. Ryan is being trialed in several primary and residential living environments, where he is proving to ease interactions with older adults and even autistic children. Winner Consumer Technology Association Foundation Eureka Park accessibility award.

Tanya Perkins, Chief Operating Officer of Tembo Health, which provides support to skilled nursing facilities and independent homes (often located in rural areas) through a combination of passive remote monitoring, coordinated care, and virtual emergency care. Often covered by insurance and/or long-term healthcare providers, Tembo Health pairs family caregivers with a care navigator who helps address the gaps that are not being met, including with dementia care.
