AgeTech Think Tank: research and conversations on the future of aging
The AgeTech Think Tank is where VillageCore shares what it learns. It combines a podcast hosted by founder Yasmin Shah with research services that help AgeTech teams understand the people they build for.
The podcast
Each episode explores technology, aging, caregiving, and innovation through conversations with entrepreneurs, researchers, and community voices. Yasmin Shah brings decades of experience leading digital transformation together with a personal commitment to caregiving.
The series is built around purpose, independence, and caregiving as a shared journey rather than an individual burden.
Research for AgeTech teams
Alongside the podcast, the Think Tank runs research designed for product and market decisions in AgeTech. TODO(owner): confirm the exact current description of the AI persona research offering, including panel size and deliverables, before restating specifics publicly.
How to take part
Listeners can follow the episodes, guests can pitch a topic, and organizations can commission research or partner on studies. Email info@villagecore.org to start a conversation.
Why research and a podcast together
Research answers narrow questions well but travels badly. Conversations travel but rarely produce evidence. Running both means what we learn from AgeTech teams reaches the people making decisions, and what practitioners raise on the podcast feeds back into what we study.
