Rethinking Safety Technology for Aging at Home

Rethinking Safety Technology for Aging at Home   #Silvie #SafetyTechnology #Privacy #Dignity Lori La Bey talks with Alex Qi, the co-founder and CEO of Pontosense, the world leader in short-range radar, and the creator of Silvie, a consumer brand that uses contactless sensing to keep older adults safe and independent at home. After losing three grandparents to falls, Alex and his co-founders set out to build technology that treats the older adult as a partner, not a patient. Learn: The impact falls had on developing the Silvie technology. How is Silvie's radar technology different from other monitoring services? Why is privacy and dignity important when picking services and products for those we care for? How does Silvie keep adults involved as part of the team making decisions about them vs families just managing their needs around them? What does Radar actually sense and pick up as a monitoring system? Are there benefits to the family if they start Silvie early in the progression of the disease? Advice for bringing safety technology into a home without taking away their independence.   Alzheimer’s Speaks Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/rethinking-safety-technology-for-aging-at-home/ Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/yexLtxUieS0 Listen and Subscribe to the Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Apple  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rethinking-safety-technology-for-aging-at-home/id986940432?i=1000780189179 Listen and Subscribe to the Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XaBs6BgHFAn1K7q7COonK Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432 Dementia Map Events https://dementiamap.com/events/#!event/2026/8/6/rethinking-safety-technology-for-aging-at-home-160-160   Contact Silvie Website   https://www.silvie.com LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/company/getsilvie Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/getsilvie X (Twitter)   https://x.com/getsilvie YouTube   https://www.youtube.com/getsilvie Facebook  @Silvie   Contact Lori La Bey of Alzheimer’s Speaks Contact Lori La Bey with questions or branding needs at https://www.alzheimersspeaks.com/ Alzheimer's Speaks shifts dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world, one episode at a time, by raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites, since 2011.
