MATTER Startup Showcase: Aging and Longevity

One-quarter of all Americans will be over 65 within the next three decades, but the speed with which the population is aging may outpace the ability of today’s healthcare system to meet their evolving needs. The rise of new technologies can affect behaviors that are key predictors of longevity: having a sense of purpose, maintaining social connections and engaging in physical activity. It is more important than ever to reimagine and embrace the next-generation of digital health innovations that will better serve older adults.

At our June MATTER Startup Showcase, MATTER startups ConnectCareHero, Rubitection and Stedi share how their solutions enable independent living, reduce social isolation and promote value-based care. Following each presentation, the startups receive feedback from a panel of decision makers from three of MATTER’s partners: CVS Health, Hines VA Hospital and MatrixCare.
