Aging 2.0 and LHCC shortlist AiRo for the final round at the 2021 Global Innovation Search
AiRo will be presenting its final pitch at the 2021 Global Innovation Search (GIS) co-hosted by Aging2.0 and The Louisville Healthcare CEO Council (LHCC). The Global Innovation Search provides an opportunity for innovators worldwide to present their ideas, exchange knowledge, and showcase their products and services in the area of senior care.
AiRo has been shortlisted for the final round after multiple rounds of evaluation by an eminent jury panel. GIS finalists will have the opportunity to participate in CareTech Pitch at OPTIMIZE, taking place September 28-29 in Louisville, KY. The Awards this year seek to recognize products and solutions that help keep people engaged in their health and wellness (education, patient communities, self-care, disease management).
In our quest to provide smooth and patient-centric care to seniors, AiRo’s unique voice-AI telehealth platform, ViKi, was shortlisted at Aging2.0 Optimize 2021. Through ViKi, AiRo aims to be the preventive care platform of choice for emotional, and physical well-being.
Today, there are almost 55 million older adults in the US, but due to lack of care coverage, nearly 80% of them land up in the ERs. One out of five people is re-hospitalized within 30 days for the same ailments. The root cause is that most administered care is reactive. There’s a clear need for a new preventive care model for both medical and emotional care. Here’s where ViKi, a SaaS platform that creates a preventive care ecosystem for older adults, can help.
Aging2.0 brings industry leaders and innovators creating market-leading innovations in senior care, and it is an exciting development for AiRo to be in the company of such innovators.
