  • AI and Older Adults: Experience, Creativity, Work and Caregiving

    AI and Older Adults: Experience, Creativity, Work and Caregiving
    2026/10/21
    Can AI help older adults turn decades of experience into a new advantage? And how is artificial intelligence changing the way we support older adults who need care?In this Rethinking Aging Club podcast, recorded September 24, 2026, we explored AI across the full spectrum of aging, from active older adults using new technology to expand their creativity, productivity, and opportunities at work to caregivers and senior living professionals using AI to improve the quality of care.Our guests were Kyle Shannon, co-founder of AI Salon and creator of The Great Repurpose, and Benjamin Surmi, social gerontologist and VP of Senior Living at Arvo. They joined host Linda Sherman and co-hosts Debbie Howard and Ray Gordon for a lively discussion about the opportunities, challenges, and human skills that matter most in an AI-powered world.This episode was part of our Future of Work series.Highlights from the ConversationAI as a leveler for older adults in the workforceFor years, we've heard about the advantages of digital natives. But does being comfortable with technology outweigh decades of experience, judgment, and wisdom? Kyle, Debbie, and Ray explored how AI could give experienced professionals new ways to apply their knowledge, evaluate results, and remain competitive. Kyle shared examples of Boomers and Gen Xers embracing AI to launch creative projects, change careers, and discover new possibilities.The Great Repurpose: Your value is more than your tasksKyle introduced The Great Repurpose, his initiative exploring how AI is transforming work and our understanding of personal value. Rather than competing with machines that can increasingly perform specialized tasks, he encouraged people to identify their unique strengths, interests, and purpose—and use AI to amplify them.Kyle also introduced the idea of "aching gaps" - things we've always wanted to do but lacked the skills, tools, or resources to accomplish. He explained how AI was making many of those ambitions newly accessible.Human judgment, taste, and relationships still matterAs AI makes technical execution easier, what distinguishes excellent work from mediocre output? The panel discussed the increasing importance of ideas, creativity, taste, judgment, and the ability to communicate a vision. Benjamin emphasized another essential human advantage: building relationships and trust. Debbie shared how her years of experience helped her recognize and improve AI-generated work.Transforming caregiver training with AIBenjamin described how Arvo is rethinking workforce training in senior living. Instead of relying on passive videos and compliance quizzes, Arvo is developing AI-supported, personalized coaching that helps frontline workers practice real-world situations, receive feedback, and build practical skills.The discussion explored interactive avatars, multilingual learning, and the potential for caregivers to practice challenging situations privately before encountering them on the job. Benjamin distinguished what Arvo was doing at the time of the recording from its longer-term vision for realistic simulations involving older adults.AI applications in senior living and family caregivingBenjamin shared examples of AI already entering senior living operations, including August Health, which uses AI to support care planning and help staff quickly understand residents' needs, and Teton AI, which uses sensors and AI analysis to identify potential safety risks.The conversation also covered emerging AI tools designed to help family caregivers find guidance, particularly when supporting someone living with dementia.You don't need to be a technical expert to use AI effectivelyOne of the most practical messages from Kyle and Benjamin was that effective AI use didn't necessarily require elaborate prompts. Both favored natural conversation, giving AI relevant context, explaining what you want, and refining the results.Kyle recommended approaching AI as a collaborative partner rather than a vending machine for answers. He also discussed the importance of helping AI understand who you are, what you value, and what you're trying to accomplish. Voice conversations were another way to make AI increasingly accessible.Throughout the discussion, the panel acknowledged AI's limitations, including inaccurate or mediocre results and concerns about privacy and trust. They emphasized that human oversight remained essential.Our GuestsKyle Shannon, Co-founder, AI Salon; CEO and Co-founder, StoryvineKyle Shannon is a digital pioneer, entrepreneur, storyteller, and AI community builder with more than 30 years at the intersection of technology and creativity. He co-founded Agency.com, helped create AI Salon and its AI Learning Lab, and leads Storyvine, an automated video storytelling platform. His latest initiative, The Great Repurpose, explores how people can rethink work, creativity, and human potential in the age of AI.LinkedIn | AI Salon | The Great Repurpose | StoryvineBenjamin ...

  • Living Choices with NUUage Coliving, Furnished Finder and WheelPad L3C

    Living Choices with NUUage Coliving, Furnished Finder and WheelPad L3C
    2026/09/18
    Linda Sherman introduced our August 20, 2026 Rethinking Aging Club Podcast Living Choices topic: Where and how we live becomes an increasingly important question as we age. Most of us want to remain independent and in control of those decisions, yet many homes aren't designed for changing mobility needs, housing costs are rising, and many older adults - especially women - live alone. In this episode, we explored three very different approaches that expand our living choices: intentional coliving, longer-term furnished housing, and accessible living spaces that can be added to an existing home.Elizabeth White discussed the concept of "Golden Girls" style co-living to combat loneliness and financial precarity among older women. She highlights the importance of psychological readiness for shared living and advocates for developers to create more "missing middle" housing options. Ray Gordon introduced a potential hurdle with current zoning regulations that do not account for high-density or non-traditional residential units.Cami Nariño explained how Furnished Finder serves as a marketplace for furnished rentals of 30 days or more, catering to relocating families and traveling healthcare professionals. The platform allows landlords, many of whom are over 55, to turn unused spaces like guest houses or basements into income-producing assets. Unlike other platforms, Furnished Finder utilizes a yearly listing fee rather than per-booking commissions, facilitating direct negotiation between users. Cami leads a fully remote global team of 200+, including an operations team in Colombia that's 90% women, many of whom have found new pathways into tech through her leadership.Julie Lineberger explained how the WheelPad pads are dignified alternatives to skilled nursing or assisted living, allowing families to stay together. We learned how their L3C (low-profit limited liability company) status works. There are different models, including a suite pad for bedroom/bathroom setups and a studio pad that includes a kitchenette. Six-month minimum lease or purchase with buyback available. Based in Vermont.Recorded on August 20, 2026, this episode is part of our Living Choices Series.

  • Wellness and Longevity with Miray Tayfun, Liz Seegert and Jon Warner

    Wellness and Longevity with Miray Tayfun, Liz Seegert and Jon Warner
    2026/08/30
    August is National Wellness Month. Our discussion focused on a new era of wellness with possibilities to understand our health in real time, identify risks before symptoms appear, and benefit from artificial intelligence, though of course challenges still face us.Miray Tayfun, CEO of Vivoo, introduced their at-home health platform, which offers rapid tests and software for analyzing results, emphasizing privacy and integration with Apple Health and other services. New from Vivoo is a plug-and-play device that you can attach to your toilet. It has an optical sensor that allows your urine to flow through the device and measure your urine density to give you information about your hydration - and later this year pH markers - sending data to your mobile phone, which can also be very valuable in geriatric care.Health journalist Liz Seegert pointed out the challenges of fragmented healthcare, particularly for women and older adults. “When we talk about wellness, we have to understand that wellness is not just yoga and green smoothies and herbal tea. It's whether you can get your doctor to take your symptoms seriously, whether you can coordinate care across multiple specialists without losing your mind, whether you have time to schedule your own mammogram while you're also scheduling your mother's cardiology follow-up."John Warner discussed the longevity gap and the need for better care coordination, especially in affordable housing. We have 4.1 million people aged 63 or older in affordable housing in the U.S. CareAxis is building care coordination. He emphasized that for all levels of wealth, healthy longevity requires evolving from reactive healthcare to personalized, proactive health management.Recorded on August 6, 2026, this episode is part of our Wellness and Longevity Series.

A few answers from a recent quizhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/well/water-hydration-quiz.htmlCoffee is inherently dehydrating - False“Coffee is mostly water and counts toward daily hydration. You may pee more if you drink a lot of it, but this is because of the volume of liquids being consumed, not its diuretic properties, said Dr. Verbalis.”You can get a good amount of water just from the food you eat - True“About 20 percent of your total daily water intake comes from foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, Dr. Muñoz said. Cucumber, iceberg lettuce, celery and watermelon are especially water-rich, as are soups and yogurt, she added. The rest should come from sipping water, tea, coffee, seltzer or other nonalcoholic drinks with meals or throughout the day, said Dr. Joseph G. Verbalis, chief of the division of endocrinology and metabolism at Georgetown University who researches water metabolism.”A nonalcoholic beer can actually be a source of hydration - True“Alcohol is generally dehydrating. It suppresses ADH, the hormone that regulates bodily fluids, causing you to produce large amounts of urine, Dr. Kavouras said, so you pee a lot, and that can lead to dehydration. This is why it’s recommended to sip water with alcoholic drinks. Or to drink water before bedtime if you’ve had alcohol, he said.Nonalcoholic beer or booze won’t have these effects, and can contribute to overall hydration, Dr. Muñoz said.”===========Articles by Liz SeegertGulfshore Life - Your Biological Age Should You Test? 7-1-26Scientific American: America is embarking on a risky experiment with GLP-1s and aging 7-19-26 Presented by Ellen Khalifa in our News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club podcast recorded on August 4.Stanford Center on Longevity Magazine: Tackling the Family Caregiver Squeeze 7-9-26Scientific American: Controversial New Alzheimer’s Drugs Offer Hope—But at a High Cost 8-16-25 Association of Health Care Journalists - Tip Sheet: What to know about post-menopause health risks 11-16-23 ============Vivoo PressLongevity Technology Newsletter 8-4-26: The next longevity clinic may already be in your bathroom - Vivoo’s CEO explains how continuous biomarker monitoring and passive diagnostics could shift healthcare from episodic treatment to prevent prevention, by Eleanor GarthBBC 6-22-26: Do you know your ‘sweat score’?
