The oldest baby boomer turns 76 this month. Recognizing the business opportunity for the ballooning aging population, including a critical shortage of care workers, multiple funders are rising to the challenge – and delivering new and intriguing trend-setting innovations, including ‘touchless’ everything, voice-enabled everything, and AI-enabled everything. Beyond playing music and reading books, Voice and AI capabilities will help older adults more easily obtain products and services they want, speak to friends and family, and improve their wellbeing in old age. The report follows the January report, https://www.ageinplacetech.com/page/market-overview-technology-aging-2022.

AI will be applied to improving wellbeing in old age. Recommendations based on the history of a user’s conversations will be accepted and standard. New features will be offered based on utilization of existing capabilities (music, recipes, trips, books, advice). Comparisons between an individual’s status and the general population will be made prior to a suggestion about health, activity, and engagement.
