Five aging in place technologies from AARP’s LivePitch
<!– google_ad_section_start –>Everybody off the bus — the last convention for AARP. Last week’s Life@50+ National Event in Miami was reportedly the last time AARP will produce one of these national entertainment-filled conventions with speakers and tracks for all interests and crowds of boomer-and-beyond women (mostly, based on observation) — volunteering to pack lunches, climbing onto buses, and basking in the Florida sunshine. The health-focused startup Live Pitch event on Thursday heard 4 minutes from the 10 finalists, 2 minutes from five Florida-based startups, and short 1-minute pitches from alternates from each of those. Judges selected Splitsecnd, a portable device-plus-service for automatic vehicle crash tracking (similar to GM's profitable OnStar, but currently vehicle brand-independent). The audience voted for Audicus (for

In fact, some research suggests protein before sleep may promote muscle building (1). More specifically, a small, nutrient dense, high-protein beverage before bed can aid in muscle protein synthesis and help boost metabolism the next morning (2, 3). Multiple studies are showing that small, nutrient-dense foods like protein-rich shakes and bars prior to bed may actually help weight-loss goals (2, 4). In a recent

Tech for aging at home – plenty of news, what’s the meaning?
<!– google_ad_section_start –>In tackling aging with tech — interesting few weeks. Sometimes odd things happen in sequences that beg a backward search for meaning. So let’s recap: within the past three weeks, Silicon Valley VCs invested in a presumably tech-enabled home care agency, Apple and IBM coughed up 5 million iPads for Japanese seniors (to “tackle aging”), and the US Senate held a hearing on the benefits of technology for those aging at home. Some might see these three disparate events, when viewed together, as a trend that shows how tech, big companies, and public policy are all coming together in an age-related trifecta of tech transformation.
