The Golden Wave

About this Session:

10,000 Americans hit 65 every single day, and our healthcare infrastructure is scrambling to figure out how to care for a population that's living longer but often with multiple chronic conditions that require complex, coordinated care. This isn't just about having enough hospital beds or primary care doctors (though we desperately need both). It's about reimagining how we deliver healthcare when traditional models weren't designed for patients who might need decades of management for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and dementia simultaneously. We need specialized geriatric care when there's already a shortage of geriatricians, we need integrated care coordination when our systems are still fragmented, and we need to figure out how to keep seniors healthy at home when many lack the support systems or tech literacy to navigate modern health tools. On the positive side, innovative partnerships are emerging between health systems, tech companies, and community organizations to create new models of care that blend telehealth, social services, and AI-powered monitoring to keep aging populations healthier for longer. How quickly can we innovate our way out of a crisis that's already here?
