episode Dignity by Design: Rethinking Technology in Senior Living cover

Dignity by Design: Rethinking Technology in Senior Living

In this episode of Senior Living Tech Check, Susan Ryan, CEO of AgingIN, joins host Joe Velderman for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to design technology with dignity at the center. Drawing from her early experiences as a nurse and her leadership at AgingIN, Susan shares how the senior living industry has evolved from institutional models of care toward more human-centered, person-directed approaches. Through deeply personal stories and decades of insight, she challenges the industry to rethink how technology is developed, implemented, and experienced by older adults. Together, they explore the tension between innovation and humanity: when technology enhances connection versus when it unintentionally replaces it. From the risks of ageist design to the importance of inviting older adults into the creation process, this episode unpacks how thoughtful technology can empower care teams, strengthen relationships, and elevate quality of life. At its core, Dignity by Design is a call to action for providers, operators, and innovators to move beyond efficiency and toward empathy, ensuring that every solution reflects the value, individuality, and lived experience of the people it serves.

From Walkmans to iPhones: What Real Innovation Looks Like in Senior Living

In this episode of Senior Living Tech Check, Joe Velderman is joined by innovator, author, and longevity expert Ryan Frederick for a deep conversation on what innovation truly means in senior living. Using the now-famous “Walkman vs. iPhone” analogy, they explore why ecosystems matter more than point solutions, how consumer expectations are widening the innovation gap, and what senior living leaders must rethink now to stay relevant in an era of longevity, data, and accelerating technology. The conversation also examines the difference between incremental and disruptive innovation, the role of data interoperability, and how experience design will shape the future of senior living.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
