Building the Future of Aging: How Longevity Hubs Are Changing the Game with Luke Yoquinto
Manage episode 485415065 series 1192747
What if aging innovation wasn’t just about senior living — but about reshaping every part of our economy and daily life?
In this episode of Tech Tuesday, Steve Moran sits down with Luke Yoquinto, researcher at the MIT AgeLab and author of Longevity Hubs, to explore the emerging "Silicon Valleys" of aging innovation.
They dig into why the longevity economy matters more than ever, how media and product design are (finally) catching up to the real needs of older adults, and why creating solutions that work for older adults often creates better solutions for everyone. From garage door openers to the Apple Watch, Luke and Steve share stories of how smart, inclusive design is revolutionizing aging — and why marketers and entrepreneurs are missing a massive opportunity if they ignore the 60+ demographic.
Plus: Luke shares his dream for what future senior living communities could (and should) look like.
Key Topics: ✅ The rise of Longevity Hubs worldwide ✅ Why older adults are still the most overlooked market ✅ How transcendent design beats "senior-specific" products ✅ What tech companies are getting right — and wrong ✅ The power of lifelong learning in aging communities
Whether you work in senior living, tech, policy, or product innovation — this episode is a must-listen.
