Leveraging Technology
for Caregiving: Nearly
40 million Americans
provide unpaid care
to their loved ones.
Caregivers experience
considerable
emo-
tional, physical and
financial burdens pro-
viding such care. The
need for their assis-
tance will only grow -
117 million Americans
are expected to need
assistance by 2020,
while the number of unpaid caregivers is expected
to remain relatively flat at 45 million. This panel will
explore technology trends in caregiving and talk to
established and emerging companies to learn more
about their technology-based caregiver solutions.
How the On-Demand Marketplace Serves the Lon-
gevity Economy: In less than 3 years, the on-demand
economy has exploded. All types of resources are at
our fingertips, providing the immediate gratification
today’s consumers crave. Industries as diverse as
transportation care for children and elders, food, and
dog-walking have been disrupted by this new busi-
ness model. In theory, an “assisted living” model for
people of every generation has been created.
The What’s Next Boomer Business Summit is the
