Artificial intelligence promises to change the way we care about and for older adults. AI-Powered Caregiving is the podcast that explores what's happening now. How is AI being used in caregiving, what are the benefits, and what can improve?
Our guests include professionals, family caregivers, and care receivers. All of us will need care at some point: It's time to build community and an open space to talk about caregiving and technology.
Family and professional caregivers are already asking AI about medications, lab results and diagnoses. The harder question is when to trust the answer. In this episode of AI-Powered Caregiving, Zemplee founder and CEO Aparna Pujar talks with Dr. Irina Koyfman, a doctor of nursing practice, dementia specialist and board-certified AI clinician, about using AI as a thinking partner rather than a replacement for judgment.Mentioned in this episode: * The AI Health Companion by Dr. Irina Koyfman — Her guide to trust-but-verify AI use, with about 50 example health prompts — https://sandwich-generation.org/books#ai-companion• Sandwich Generation Handbook by Dr. Irina Koyfman — Her 18 short chapters for overwhelmed caregivers, each with a personal story and free resources — https://sandwich-generation.org/books#sandwich • AI Competency Domains for Nurses by Dr. Irina Koyfman and a nursing colleague — Written after both became board certified and found no AI competencies existed for nurses — https://sandwich-generation.org/books#ai-nursesZemplee offers AI-powered remote monitoring to help older adults live at home safely.

What to look for in dementia care
Most advice about what to look for in dementia care comes from clinicians or from families. Khatera Bahadory has been both. She arrived from Kabul at ten, worked as a caregiver while putting herself through nursing school, and now directs Astoria Park Senior Living in Pasadena, California. Then her father-in-law was diagnosed with dementia, and she spent that period on the family side of the desk — frustrated by a care team whose communication, she says, simply wasn't there.She now uses that frustration as training material. With host Aparna Pujar, founder and CEO of Zemplee, she covers how she trains her team for sundowning, why every family gets the same standard of care regardless of how often they visit, and what she would change about aging in America.Visit: astoriaparkseniorliving.comzemplee.com
