AARP Health Innovation@50+ Live Pitch
I recently attended the 5th Annual Health Innovation@50+ Live Pitch event in Sunnyvale, CA. Held at the Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, the heart of the Silicon Valley, the AARP Live Pitch event focused on Caregiving and its different aspects, including how technology has empowered caregivers, how that technology can be made available to a greater number of caregivers at an affordable cost, and the opportunities for startups in the caregiving space.
You can stream the sessions, including the compelling keynote from Nancy LeaMond, Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer for AARP, and Alexandra Drane, Founder and Chair of the Board at Eliza Corporation, regarding the deeply personal and immensely emotional issue of caregiving, by linking the Live Pitch on the AARP website.
We are so proud of our friends at SingFit for winning the Consumers Choice award. Their SingFit PRIME, a scalable musical solution for healthy aging and dementia care, was voted Most Innovative Company by an audience made up of AARP members, caregivers and Silicon Valley insiders. Congratulations, Rachel and Andy!
