I'm working with a few people in the Charlotte, NC area on a radio show for seniors and would like to feature a few companies that are bringing new ideas and products to the senior-care market. Was curious to see if anyone in the HN community was working on something related to seniors or their caregivers.
We just released the first-ever comprehensive search engine for people seeking long term care services. PatientsHaveChoices.com aggregates data about each provider from multiple sources, and transforms it into meaningful information. It allows end-users to shop and compare providers, ultimately making an educated choice. Let me know how I can help.
Hi, I'm a designer very interested in the senior care market. I did my thesis project on assistive eating devices (<a href="http://averyseriousdesigner.com/3d_bowl.html" rel="nofollow">http://averyseriousdesigner.com/3d_bowl.html</a>), and did research at 2 bay area elder care facilities. Since then, I've gotten connected to a Stanford prof who's connected to the elder care space, who teaches a class about assistive device design. I've also done work with Golden Leaf Care, a Bay Area web startup trying to create a better online experience for families seeking care for their relatives. I'm also in touch with Omhu (<a href="http://omhu.com/" rel="nofollow">http://omhu.com/</a>), a new New York based company dedicated to making and marketing really well-designed products for the elderly. Hit me up, I'd love to connect you with any/all of my network!
I work at <a href="http://www.call-em-all.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.call-em-all.com</a>. We have many senior care facilities that use us for automated notifications regarding health, medication, etc. We also work with many healthcare staffing companies which staff for in-home caregivers.
I... uh... wouldn't call it exactly that, but I'm extending <a href="http://www.deadmansswitch.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.deadmansswitch.net</a> to include checking-up features (phone, sms, etc).
My mother does residential care in Texas. Her perspective will be different than most other people you will speak with. Let me know if you'd like to talk to her.

A good friend of mine started <a href="http://www.seniorcarehomes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.seniorcarehomes.com/</a>. His love & passion for helping seniors is amazing. I think it would be very beneficial to feature him/his company on your radio show. You can reach him at Erwin(at)seniorcarehomes.com. Tell him Jonas sent you.
