This episode continued our CES 2025 Highlights with part 2.

Kota Ageiwa of Thinkie Inc. discussed the development and testing of their Android / iOS app, which, with a brain activity sensor, uses neurofeedback to improve cognitive function.

Bryce Folsom of eLife Health introduced a system that integrates health information into driver's licenses for faster emergency response, emphasizing the importance of paramedic accessibility.

Allyson Schreier and Bill Uniowski of Zinnia TV shared their app designed for dementia patients, which reduces anxiety and agitation, and has been tested to reduce antipsychotic medication use. Zinnia TV videos aim to enhance cognitive function and daily living for the aging population.

We expressed our appreciation to a great CES for us in the accessibility and AgeTech space to Steve Ewell, co-host and Executive Director of the Consumer Technology Association Foundation, which is the charitable arm tied to CTA, which is the group that runs CES. He is also CTA’s Vice President of Accessibility and AgeTech.

Recorded on January 30, 2025, this episode is part of the CES Highlights Series. Speakers are listed in their order of appearance.
