September 16, 2021 Live Panels
Social Isolation & Loneliness
Enabling Seniors to Connect & Thrive in Relationships		 10 AM EDT
The effects of social isolation and loneliness brought about by the COVID-19 global pandemic has been devastating to many communities. Connection and community are essential to health and wellbeing, especially for vulnerable populations, including seniors. This panel highlights not only the need to advance this area of healthcare, but the partnerships bringing people together, through powerful technology, when they need it most.
Sensory Wellness
Advancing Technology to Support Vision or Hearing Loss		 11 AM EDT
Whether a gradual decline or a sudden loss due to illness, the effects of vision and hearing impairment for older adults can be incredibly disruptive to their health and quality of life. Sensors, wearables, AI, and the continued advancement of diagnostic technology and digital health are impacting this field of care at a rapid rate. Targeting sensory wellness keeps seniors living active and engaged lifestyles, supporting a holistic approach to wellness.
Designing Innovation in Assisted Living and Aging in Place 3 PM EDT
The 2020 pandemic brought about transformational changes in how we look at aging and our living environments. Keeping loved ones safe and connected became top priorities but it also unleashed design innovations for aging in place and assisted living. This panel explores the trends and future view of how our health is connected to where we live.
Creating Better Dementia Care and Promoting Brain Health 4 PM EDT
Despite the coronavirus crisis, surveys show more older Americans were more concerned about an Alzheimer’s diagnosis than COVID-19. The U.S. health care system is still struggling with the need for not only better therapeutics and dementia care but also understanding the importance of prevention aligned with new brain health initiatives. This panel discusses the innovation in dementia care and brain health education for health care professionals and the broader population.
September 17, 2021 Live Panels
Health & Home Care
Empowering Individuals to Access Quality Care from Home		 10 AM EDT
Quality home-based care can be a powerful tool in a patient’s recovery or ongoing wellness. Advancements designed to support and improve home care are a huge part of the age-tech industry and healthcare. Learn how entrepreneurs are partnering with investors to bring quality services from the provider to the patient at home.
Medical Accountability & Adherence
Removing Barriers Inhibiting Patients from Treatment		 11 AM EDT
Medical advancement is paramount to the health and safety of patients, but efficacy tanks when adherence is low. Seniors unable to take medication or easily access necessary information are at risk of missing out on necessary treatment. Early-stage entrepreneurs are using technology to advance systems designed to enable patients to better access their healthcare resources, including medication, providers, and treatment details.
What Angels, Seed, Venture, Corporate and Family Offices Investors Are Looking For 3 PM EDT
These investors talk about how to find the perfect funding partners – what entrepreneurs should look for and what to expect. This essential panel is a critical “how to” session for any startup company in the longevity market.
Pre-Recorded Panel
The Future of Wearables and Older Adults 2021

Hot Longevity Mandates: Multinational Venture Firm

3 Aug

The firm is a venture capital fund founded in 1996 with offices in the US, China, and Japan. The firm has over $4.2B assets under management and has invested in over 400 companies. In 2019, the firm closed Fund IX at $780M, its largest fund to date. The firm invests mainly in early-stage technology companies (i.e. internet, SaaS, consumer-tech, etc.) with high disruptive potential and seeks to be the first institutional investor, but dedicates a small amount of capital (about 20% of the fund) to later-stage companies as well. Typically, first checks fall in the $2-5M range in Seed to Series A rounds, but the firm has made investments as small as $250K. Overall, the firm invests in over 20 companies per year across North America and Asia. In terms of healthtech specifically, the firm aims to make at least 1-2 USA-based and 1 China-based investments per year.

The firm is mainly interested in digital health opportunities and will not consider therapeutics or medical devices. The firm will stray away from anything that involves FDA regulatory approval. Previous investments of the firm include a Google Glass-powered remote scribe platform that improves the workflow of physicians, an AI engine that matches cancer patients with clinical trials, a wearable health tracker for healthy lifestyle management, etc. Companies do not need to be generating revenue prior to investment.

The firm invests in private companies with strong technology and can work with different kinds of management teams that are ideally devoted full-time to the company. The firm will almost always act as the lead investor and seek board representation, staying actively involved in their portfolio companies. The firm prefers to have a syndicate of co-investors invest alongside the firm, but this is not an absolute requirement.
