/ About this event

How can technology help families care for older loved ones from a distance while supporting their independence?

Join us at Stanford for Care at a Distance: AI, Sensors & the Future of Aging, an engineering focused conversation about the tools taking shape around remote care. Researchers and technology builders will share what AI, wearables, ambient sensing, robotics, and digital health can do today—and where the hardest challenges remain.

Panel 1: Sensing Wellbeing from a Distance * Ehsan Adeli — Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford; Director of the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) Lab * Jingwen Xiang — Head of Operations, Luffu * Tian Lan — Founder and CEO, Care Mojo * Ziv Lautman — Co-founder and CEO, Greenlue Moderator: Crane Huang, Stanford School of Medicine

Panel 2: Robotics for Independent Living * Michelle Baldonado — Research Scientist at Stanford Robotics Center, leading Stanford Older Adult Robotics (SOAR) project * Tom Wang — Founder and CEO, Intuitive Autonomy * More speakers to be announced Moderator: Xiaojing Xing, Stanford School of Medicine

Through short talks, panel discussions, and audience Q&A, we’ll explore how these systems can offer families useful insight and reassurance while respecting older adults’ privacy and autonomy.

This event is part of #SFTechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at tech-week.com.
