The future of aging and #mobility are closely intertwined. Great article in the #NYT showing the results of ElliQ and how her empathetic #AI addresses loneliness, connecting older adults to their communities. #futureofmobility #agingsociety #vc

As a “Sassy Septuagrenarian” and one empathetic to the growing needs of “ Seasoned Citizens” , we believe that Age Tech can address feelings of loneliness and social isolation with AI and Robotics.

When people’s access needs are met and when they get the tools they need to participate in their own lives, they’ll likely thrive. It’s that simple. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month and this year’s theme is Advancing Access and Equity. And that theme resonates with the work we do every day to advance technology that makes the world — and the workplace! — more accessible. With more accessibility, inclusion increases, leading to more gainful employment for disabled people. When companies ignore accessibility and inclusion, they miss out on valuable perspectives, skills, and talent. That’s why it’s in the best interest of their bottom lines to prioritize these practices and values. Check out this clip from a prior Disability Tech Talk with Molly Levitt, the Director of Remarkable Tech US, where she talks about her own early grasp of assistive technology’s importance in all aspects of life and how that’s shaped her own career path and understanding of the human experience.

It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world - Ashley Shew 🧠 The Users feel that the OEM HMIs are becoming more and more complex and are offering the solutions that will not answer their needs. The approach Ashley describes in the article below may be one of the keys to reverse this trend. 🚀 We have to look at the edge cases, but often we either look at the most common or even the wrong ones. We must be careful while following the buzzwords that pops up on the market every week and always question our developments by asking ourselves: 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬? #abilitynotdisability #usability #uxuidesign #innovationforgood #questionsworthasking #challengesandopportunities Source: https://lnkd.in/eSxsXYzA

We do not have functional options for older people and so many elders fall through these widening cracks. As current models crack and disappear, newer more responsive models will appear. https://lnkd.in/extC7eeX
