Image caption: Simpson\u2019s TechLab Speaker Series brings together leaders in health care, technology and senior living to explore how innovation can support healthier, safer and more independent aging.<\/em><\/p>\n
The sessions will feature internationally recognized physicians, technologists, and senior living thought leaders discussing innovations in aging, memory care and independent living.<\/p>\n
The TechLab Speaker Series is open to the public and supports Simpson\u2019s belief that the future of aging is already here. The educational series builds on the innovations already in use at Jenner\u2019s Pond. Jenner\u2019s Pond has developed one of the region\u2019s most progressive approaches to memory care by combining Comfort Matters\u00ae, a nationally accredited approach to dementia care, with person-directed living that honors each resident\u2019s routines, choices, and dignity. AI-driven health monitoring and therapeutic gardens designed to encourage freedom and movement are examples of Simpson\u2019s commitment to personalized support for residents\u2019 health and well-being.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Americans live longer, more people will face dementia themselves or care for someone they love,\u201d said Dr. Carol McKinley, PhD, president and CEO of Simpson. \u201cAt the same time, technological advances are creating new opportunities to help older adults live healthier, safer, and more independent lives. At Simpson, we\u2019ve created a progressive health services community using technology to improve the lives of our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
TECHLAB SPEAKER SERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat If Your Healthcare Team Could See Tomorrow\u2019s Health Risks Today?\u201d <\/strong> Dr. Kristopher Crawford, MD, CEO of Unity Gap, will join Dr. Carol McKinley, PhD, President and CEO of Simpson, to discuss how technology-enabled clinical monitoring and physician oversight are helping identify health concerns earlier, reduce avoidable hospitalizations, and support healthier aging. The presentation is designed for healthcare professionals, older adults planning for their future, family caregivers, and anyone interested in the role technology plays in healthcare.<\/p>\n \u201cCan AI Help Us Hold On to What Makes Us Human?\u201d<\/strong> Dr. Stu Hamilton, PhD and founder of Amba, will join Dr. Carol McKinley, PhD, President and CEO of Simpson, to examine how artificial intelligence is supporting independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and how AI is helping older adults remain at home longer. The discussion will explore how technology can enhance safety, reduce falls and hospitalizations, and help preserve older adults’ independence.<\/p>\n In addition to the featured presentations, Jenner\u2019s Pond is offering two opportunities to try health technologies in person:<\/p>\n \u201cTry Smart Health Technology in Person\u201d Demonstrations<\/strong> Led by Jenner\u2019s Pond technology concierge Jacob Brooke, these interactive sessions will introduce guests to smartwatches, health apps, wearable devices, and wireless health monitoring technologies that can help support healthier, more independent living.<\/p>\n Jenner\u2019s Pond is a Life Plan Community offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services to older adults throughout Chester County.<\/p>\n \u201cThe TechLab Speaker Series is another example of Simpson\u2019s commitment to sharing knowledge, expanding access to innovative care, and helping community members and their families prepare for the future,\u201d said Dr. McKinley.<\/p>\n Community members are invited to attend one or all of the TechLab Speaker Series events.
