Below are some of the startups that are garnering some recognition at this year’s Aging2.0 Optimize conference scheduled for October in San Francisco. Sadly, several of the company websites make it difficult to figure out exactly what products and services they are actually selling.

  • CareAngel…an artificial intelligence based care service that makes regular check-in calls to elderly customers. Recipients answer questions, and their responses are turned into notifications, alerts, reports and more.
  • Cariloop…provides services and tools that help families plan for and manage the care of a loved one.
  • EchoCare Technologies…a non-wearable home monitoring system to detect falls, sleep apnea, hyperventilation, and more.
  • Mundo Prateado…Helps seniors find solutions for facilitating daily life.
  • MyndYou…a mobile based platform that monitors the cognitive, physiological and behavioral parameters of Alzheimer patients, and provides families with a clear understanding of the status of a loved one within the Alzheimer’s spectrum.
  • NuEyes...Smartglasses for the visually impaired.
  • Qompium…a smartphone app for the detection of atrial fibrillation.
  • Silvernest…a roommate matching service for Baby Boomers and Empty Nesters who want to share a home.
  • Stack Labs…an intelligent circadian-based lighting system to help a person get a good night’s sleep. 
Follow up on the 8/18 blog about Sex in Assisted Living Facilities…The Hebrew Home at Riverdale in the Bronx has stepped up efforts to help residents looking for relationships. Staff members have organized a happy hour and a senior prom, and started a dating service, called G-Date (Grandparent Date). Currently, about 40 of the 870 residents are involved in a relationship.
