from AXSChat Podcast · host Antonio Santos, Debra Ruh, Neil Milliken talk with Frances West and Claire Chang
Imagine a world where every individual, regardless of age or geography, can seamlessly harness the power of technology. That's the future tech strategists Frances West and Claire Chang envision as we unpack the multifaceted world of digital inclusion in the Asia-Pacific region. Through their expertise, we traverse the landscape where corporate accessibility strategies intertwine with the sociodemographic tapestry of a rapidly aging society, like Taiwan, spotlighting the importance of culturally sensitive tech advancements.Venture into the heart of innovation with us, where traditional family structures and respect for elders are not just preserved but augmented by cutting-edge solutions. Taiwan's ascendancy to a super-aged society presents an extraordinary opportunity for human-centric innovation, and our guests Frances and Claire elucidate how this island nation could pioneer sustainable elder care models. Furthermore, we wade into the global beauty industry's waters, where giants like L'Oréal are blending ideas with local enterprises to sculpt a future that cherishes diversity and champions inclusive practices.Closing on a note of reflection, we share the personal motivations that spur our quest to integrate technology into elder care. Be it the nostalgia of a multigenerational household or the anxiety over a looming caregiver deficit, these narratives underscore our collective responsibility to forge tech solutions now, for a tomorrow where the dignity of aging is upheld by the very innovations we create today. Join the conversation and help us shape a more inclusive, accessible world for generations to come.Send us Fan MailSupport the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.comDebra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.socialNeil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.socialaxschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.socialLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilmilliken/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh
