  Technology to Help You Age Well

  Sep 22, 202633 minS3

  In this episode hosts Raeann Rideout and Sherry Baker speak with Bridgette Murphy, CEO of Age Well. Most seniors want to age in place, but navigating the latest tech can feel overwhelming and expensive. What if the answer isn't just innovation, but inclusive innovation? Bridgette reveals how Canada's leading aging tech network is empowering older adults and caregivers to co-create solutions that really work, and are affordable too. Imagine a world where smart gloves help Parkinson's patients stabilize tremors and regain daily independence, or AI-powered home sensors discreetly monitor safety without invading privacy. The opportunities are enormous, but only if developers and policymakers work hand-in-hand with older adults themselves. Bridgette Murphy is CEO of Age Well, a national network accelerating the development and adoption of technology for healthy aging in Canada. Bridgette has more than 15 years of experience building and managing large-scale research and innovation initiatives. Her leadership ensures that older adults and caregivers are at the heart of every innovation, making their lives safer and more connected.
