In this conversation, Michele shares her perspective on the digital divide in senior care, technology adoption among older adults, dementia care, care coordination, transition management, AI in healthcare, and the importance of keeping compassion, trust, dignity, and education at the center of care. How healthcare is changing for seniors and families Whether technology is making care easier or more confusing The digital divide in senior care How technology can support dementia care Balancing safety, independence, and privacy Care coordination across providers, hospitals, pharmacies, rehab centers, and families Common breakdowns during hospital-to-home or rehab transitions Where AI can help in senior care and healthcare advocacy What AI should never replace Why human-centered technology matters The future of senior care over the next 3 to 5 years Advice for healthcare leaders and technology companies building senior care solutions The key takeaway: technology can improve senior care, but it cannot work in isolation.
