BetterAge

We’re excited to partner with ten senior centers across Washington State to bring?BetterAge?to older adults—providing free, personalized health insights so older adults can take charge of their well-being. Supported by the WA Dept. of Social and Health Services, this initiative empowers both individuals and community organizations with data-driven support. A big step to healthier aging! #BetterAge #HealthyAging #AgingWell

At Stanford's T.H.I.N.K. event, Chief Data Officer and AI Engineer Michael Webb, alongside CEO Diana Yin of BetterAge, delved into profound dialogues on AI in healthcare with esteemed industry and academic professionals. BetterAge's team is enthusiastic about contributing to these discussions as dedicated AI practitioners for positive impact.

Thank you, San Diego Oasis and Tuktu Care Inc., for co-sponsoring the Golden Innovations Conference, and for the opportunity for BetterAge CEO Diana Yin to share our thoughts about the critical role of diverse communities in building the aging ecosystem. Conference featured speakers across sectors including Simona Valanciute, Lisa Gables, Sanjay Khurana, Gordon A. Rogers, Daniel Kaplan, Rustam Sengupta, Ginna Baik, Neeta Sharma, Dhaval Patel.

Our first in-person leadership retreat was a tremendous opportunity to strategize how BetterAge can improve the lives of older adults with our digital product and innovation network. Thank you to Center In The Park Inc, voted the best nonprofit in Philadelphia - and a BetterAge partner!, for hosting us! What a privilege to have these discussions at this vibrant senior center.

These innovative community-based organizations are partnering with BetterAge as part of a burgeoning movement to assess and improve the health and well-being of older adults. Thank you to our early adopters! #Community #Health #WellBeing #BetterAge #Partnership

Did you know that "everyday ageism" can be harmful to an older adult's health? October 9 is Ageism Awareness Day. The American Society on Aging is leading the way toward more education and advocacy. Let’s #TalkAboutAgeism! Visit https://lnkd.in/gyWWHA_s for more information.

So inspired to have participated in the United for Health Equity in Aging Summit sponsored by The SCAN Foundation. The Summit emphasized the crucial need to uphold every older adult's right to age with dignity and respect. Inspired by their efforts, we at BetterAge remain steadfast in our commitment to use data to identify disparities and create positive change in communities. #HealthEquity #CommunityEmpowerment

We, like senior centers, can be influencers for health and well-being, notes BetterAge Chief Immersion Officer, Ron Kaiser, Ph.D.: Now that several thousand older adults have taken our health and well-being assessment through our partnership with senior centers, I am happy to report some relevant data as well as invite you to share information and thoughts that can be helpful to us. Since my role includes being in charge of the empathy strategy that permeates all that BetterAge does, I was interested in why people take the 7-10 minutes to complete the assessment – so we started asking them. Obviously, we hope that a prominent reason is because they are seeking guidance to improve their health and well-being. While that is a strong reason, the prevailing reason that individuals have taken the assessment so far is because their senior center encouraged them to do so. Sure, part of that is by design, but it’s still very encouraging because it suggests that if an organization has a rapport with its membership, it can be a great influence in health promotion and presumably other well-being-related activities. Sometimes we may wonder how much influence we may have over promoting healthy behavior change, and our work suggests that the influence could be considerable. The challenge for us all is to determine how we can become better influencers of older adults, and then to use our influence in a positive and empathic manner. #betterage #agetech #olderadultwellbeing

Harnessing the power of asking a direct question can lead to compelling insights about older adults.
