MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --LifeBio, a leading age-tech solutions company using reminiscence methods and life story work for social engagement, announced today it has been selected to participate in the Innovator's Pitch Challenge (IPC) at the inaugural Longevity, Health & Innovationconference to be held virtually and concurrently during the 39th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Week, January 11-15.
LifeBio's MyHello, a tech-powered, scalable live phone intervention to prevent loneliness in older adults and to address social determinants of health (SDoH), was one of only 37 early-stage company products among hundreds of entries invited to pitch to the life science and longevity investor judging panel. The two-day Innovator's Pitch Challenge includes a 4-minute pitch followed by live Q&A sessions on January 14-15. The purpose of the pitch is to advance technology in longevity and aging by connecting buyers, sellers, and investors.
"The COVID pandemic increased loneliness and isolation among older adults which we know leads to higher levels of depression, poorer cardiovascular and diabetes health and higher rates of Alzheimer's disease," said Beth Sanders, CEO and founder of LifeBio. "MyHello is designed to be a high-tech intervention for loneliness using existing landline or mobile phones and connecting older adults with engaging conversations with the power of life stories. Research shows we reduce depression and increase happiness and well-being using the LifeBio Reminiscence Method and personalized story methods."
Julianne Holt-Lunstadat Brigham Young University, one of the foremost researchers on social isolation and loneliness, found these conditions have as much impact on longevity as obesity or even smoking. It is estimated more than 42 million older adults feel isolated and lonely, whether they live alone or in congregate living communities. In 2020, isolation and loneliness for seniors were exacerbated by the safety restrictions during the pandemic. In addition to the individual impact, loneliness and social isolation also account for $6.7 billion in additional Medicare spending annually according to a 2017 reportby AARP.
