The LMC InnovAGERS is a blog series which highlights companies and individuals who are innovating in the aging, healthcare and caregiving industry.

For over a decade, we have been warned of the impending aging tsunami, along with a notable rising cost in healthcare. We simply do not have the brick and mortar, nor do we have the physical caregivers, to manually take care of this rising demographic. As with any disruptive demographic, we know enabling technologies will assist in cost-savings, patient empowerment and allowing professionals and family to better care for the recipients.

We wanted to take a moment and spotlight the changes that have happened over the past decade, to what’s happening now in order to make our lives better, more comfortable and healthier, as we age. What are the barriers we have overcome? What challenges are we still facing? How will technology play a role? Buckle up as we chat with healthcare and aging experts, and the game-changing innovators as we explore the fascinating intersection of technology and aging.

Laura Mitchell speaks with Karen Jagoda on ‘Empowered Patient Radio’

In an interview with Karen Jagoda of Empowered Patient Radio, Laura Mitchell, founder of digital health and aging expert group, LMC, spoke about the increased demand for aging and health care enabling technologies, the evolution of the tech-enabling aging market, and activity/health monitoring. Every day these technologies become more user-friendly, less expensive and more wholly integrated in people’s day-to-day lives.

While traditional hands-on care is not going anywhere, it is increasingly being paired with virtual care, telehealth, remote care coordination and activity of daily living remote monitoring technologies.
