I am halfway through the book "2030" by Mauro F. Guillén and one of the key insights I found is the rapid ageing of the global population, particularly in countries like the USA. By 2030, the number of people aged 60 and older is expected to increase dramatically, reaching nearly 1 billion globally. In the USA alone, the 60+ demographic will represent over 20% of the population. This demographic shift highlights an emerging market opportunity in AgeTech—technology solutions designed to cater specifically to the needs of older adults. From healthcare innovations, and independent living assistance, to combating social isolation, there’s a growing demand for tools that enable seniors to maintain quality of life while ageing gracefully. In my quest to find if there are any players in this segment, I came across an age tech startup Papa, It connects older adults with "Papa Pals," who provide companionship, assistance with daily tasks, transportation, and even help with digital literacy. It's a unique blend of human connection and support, helping seniors live independently while staying engaged and cared for. Here’s why it stands out: 1. Customer-Centric Focus: Papa directly addresses senior needs like loneliness and independence, making it invaluable for both seniors and families. 2. Scalable Model: Its gig economy approach allows rapid scaling to meet growing demand without sacrificing quality. 3. User-Friendly Tech: The app is intuitive, ensuring even less tech-savvy seniors can use it with ease. 4. Data-Driven Growth: Leveraging user data to refine services and partnerships with healthcare providers, Papa continues to expand its reach. The rise of startups like Papa shows how Age Tech is pushing the boundaries of innovation to create more inclusive and supportive solutions for our ageing population. ???? #AgeTech #Papa #Innovation #HealthTech #SeniorCare #StartupSpotlight #TechForGood #IntergenerationalConnection

We do not age in isolation. We all grow up and grow older through systems that influence the outcomes of our lives in a myriad of ways. This is the reason that you may have heard a gerontologist say if you've met one 80-year-old, you've met ONE 80-year-old. The unique experiences of our lives lead us down very different paths, for better or for worse. ?? The gender data gap in healthcare frustrates and gaslights women throughout their lives, leading women down a worse path for health outcomes. https://lnkd.in/g6Tdbrxh ?? This can have very serious consequences to our own health (of course), but women are also more likely to be caregivers to children and older adults. Poor health outcomes for women negatively impact the health outcomes of their communities. https://lnkd.in/gd46xeHg https://lnkd.in/g3MUsex4 I have joined the Women's Health PAC, a bipartisan Women’s Health Political Action Committee (PAC), to help make women’s health an ongoing national political issue. Join me and a panel of Women's Health, Tech, and Policy experts at Denver Startup Week. We will be covering the current policy landscape from Colorado to Washington DC, opportunities for funding and support of Women's HealthTech initiatives, and how you can get involved to advocate for yourself and your community.

Digital Equity & Access for Older Adults: Why It Matters ?? Myth 1: Digital Equity is Only About Internet Access Reality: It’s also about affordability, tech literacy, and device access. ?? Myth 2: Older Adults Aren’t Interested in Technology Reality: Many older adults embrace tech when it’s accessible and user-friendly. ?? Myth 3: Digital Equity Doesn't Impact Health Reality: Limited digital access can lead to poorer health outcomes due to a lack of telehealth and online resources. ?? Myth 4: Digital Inclusion is a City-Only Issue Reality: Rural communities face significant barriers to achieving digital equity. ??? Myth 5: Addressing Digital Equity is the Government’s Job Alone Reality: It requires collaboration between the private sector, non-profits, and government. ?? Myth 6: Digital Equity Ends with Infrastructure Reality: Infrastructure is just the start—education, ongoing support, and engagement are key to lasting digital equity.

Kate Ryder is redefining healthcare for women, and she's just getting started. At 34, Kate founded Maven Clinic and announced last Tuesday that announced Tuesday that it closed a $125 million funding round at a $1.7 billion valuation. But this isn't just another unicorn story – it's a masterclass in identifying a massive gap in the market and building a solution with real impact. Kate started out as a journalist, covering health and tech. Where she spotted a glaring issue: the healthcare system was failing women, especially during critical life stages like pregnancy and early parenthood. Her solution? Maven Clinic – a virtual clinic providing on-demand access to women's and family health providers. "Healthcare isn't one-size-fits-all, especially for women," Kate once said. "We're here to change that." What sets Kate apart is her relentless focus on the patient experience. She's known for personally reading user feedback and constantly iterating on Maven's services. This user-centric approach has paid off – Maven now supports millions of families worldwide. But Kate's not just building a business; she's driving a movement. She's become a vocal advocate for women's health issues, pushing for policy changes and greater investment in femtech. Her efforts earned her a spot on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list. I had the chance to meet Kate at a conference last year, and I was struck by her passion and clarity of vision. In an industry often bogged down by complexity, Kate has a refreshing ability to cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters: better health outcomes for women and families. With over 50% of leadership roles held by women a Maven, she's more than just talk. "Diversity isn't just a nice-to-have," she once remarked. "It's critical for building products that truly serve all women." If you haven't heard Kate's interview on the "Why I Built This" podcast, I highly recommend it. It's a candid look at the challenges of building a healthcare startup and the resilience required to succeed. What do you think about Kate's approach to healthcare innovation? Have you or someone you know used Maven Clinic? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #WomenInTech #HealthcareInnovation #FemTech

Whether you live in the US, Japan (or elsewhere in Asia), or Europe - most aging adults show a strong preference to stay in their own homes as they age, yet the vast majority are NOT able to do so. Smart technologies play a big role in making dwellings safer and more age-friendly so this aspiration can become a reality. We see this trend playing out all over the world. There is a growing number of truly effective measures that can be taken.

At ōURA, we're leveraging technology to democratize health data, making it more accessible and understandable for everyone. Our recent discussion at the TIME Women's Leadership Forum with Maven Clinic and Deloitte underscores why our mission is more critical than ever, especially for women's health: ?? Women face more barriers and higher out-of-pocket costs in healthcare ?? Nearly 50% of U.S. births are financed by Medicaid due to poverty levels ?? Women were only mandated to be included in clinical trials starting in the early '90s The good news? Technology and AI are opening new doors: “It isn’t easy for many people to get to a doctor’s office, or it isn’t easy for them to interpret that data. AI is giving us access to all these really exciting tools that could eventually allow people not just to get more data, but to actually understand it and interpret it," said Dorothy Kilroy, ōURA’s Chief Commercial Officer.
