Technology, Dignity, and Aging: Wearables That Actually Work

We all know the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial — but what if technology could do more than just react? In this episode, Brandy and Emilia sit down with Dan Josebachvili, founder of SilverTree, to talk about how thoughtful design and wearable tech are reshaping safety, confidence, and independence for older adults. They explore the connection between dignity and adoption, how caregivers can share the load using tech, and why aging shouldn't mean losing agency. If you’ve ever worried about a loved one’s safety — or your own — this episode is for you.
