124. How Teton Turns Data Into Better Resident Care

Matt [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattreiners/] sits down with Katie Grant [https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiewb/], President of U.S. Operations at Teton [https://www.teton.ai/], for a really thoughtful conversation about what it actually means to bring AI into senior living in a way that works. Katie [https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiewb/] brings a unique perspective to the table, with over 20 years as a nurse and experience across just about every corner of senior care. That background really shapes how she thinks about technology. Not as something flashy or “innovative for the sake of innovation,” but as a tool to make life easier for caregivers and safer for residents. A standout moment is the discussion around privacy. Katie is very clear that for Teton, privacy is the foundation. Instead of focusing on “computer vision,” she frames it as ambient monitoring that looks for patterns and safety signals without identifying individuals or recording their lives. That clarity is key when building trust with residents, families, and staff.
