From Reactive Care to Preventive, Human-Centered Living
SivanS Lab hosted a cross-border discussion bringing together leaders across AI, robotics, and care innovation to explore the future of aging.
Speakers included:
Nachi Katz (Kedem Innovation Hub)
Hidemi T. (Intuition Robotics – ElliQ)
Yuta Yamanaka (Zenkoukai / Smart Care)
Stephen Johnston (Fordcastle / Aging2.0)
Yuta Endo (Voxela, Inc. – V-Care platform)
Masato Marumo (@ai6 – Wi-Fi sensing AI)
Ryuji Shimonishi (OTAGROUP – Meta Grandma)
Key highlights:
– AI companion robots like ElliQ are already delivering measurable improvements in engagement, well-being, and independence for older adults.
– CareTech is shifting toward preventive, data-driven, and personalized care models
– Ambient sensing and AI platforms are enabling non-intrusive monitoring and automation of care workflows
– New cultural formats like “Meta Grandma” are redefining how older generations engage with society
– The conversation made one thing clear: The future of AgeTech lies at the intersection of technology, empathy, and real-world application.
Looking forward to continuing the dialogue and building meaningful collaborations across ecosystems.
