This episode features products that were exhibited at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show. These innovations support personalized communications from a huge library of choices, provide an alternative for those with visual impairments, offer solace through music therapy to those with cognitive decline, and help older adults organize their treasured objects giving meaning to their importance.

This show (recorded on January 25, 2024) included the following guests in the order they presented:

Yoav Oren, Co-Founder and CEO of Zoog - a communications tool that makes you the star of children’s stories, greeting cards, and songs from an incredibly rich library of content designed to engage grandchildren, family, and friends. Exhibitor in the Agetech Collaborative from AARP Pavilion.

Amos Miller, Founder and CEO of Guidance - the creators of Glide, a haptic guidance tool offering an alternative to white canes or guide dogs for those who have lost their sight. Only a fraction of the 7 million Americans with significant vision loss utilize a guide dog or white cane, meaning that most vision-impaired people must depend on caregivers for help with getting to doctor's appointments and other outside activities. Exhibitor in the Eureka Park Accessibility Award Winners group.

Zachary McMahon, Co-Founder and CEO of Lucid - a “music as medicine” solution that provides music listening therapy for those already on their cognitive decline journey. It leverages AI, Cloud libraries, and effective computing for a better experience (i.e., utilization of “face mesh” technology allows the software to recognize user reactions and then connect these reactions with the music that is provided through the app). Exhibitor in the Agetech Collaborative from AARP Pavilion.

Heather Nickerson, Co-Founder and CEO of Artifacts – a patented web and app-based platform that helps aging adults leave a legacy by capturing, preserving, and sharing the stories and meaning behind the objects you treasure in a safe and secure space. Exhibitor in the Agetech Collaborative from AARP Pavilion.
