Longevity with Sensate and Elemind
We featured two founder CEO’s with outstanding affordable longevity products. Both of these brilliant women and their teams provided ten minute lie-down experiences for attendees in the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP pavilion at CES 2026.
Anna Gudmundson explained how Sensate uses low-frequency sound vibrations to tune the vagus nerve. She noted the results of a study conducted in Lisbon which demonstrated significant reductions in heart rate and stress-related brainwaves after using Sensate. Users easily carry their Sensate’s around, enjoying meditation and calming where they wish to have it. Reviews show that Sensate has been effective for panic attack sufferers and fosters long term stress management and resilience.
Meredith Perry introduced the Elemind wearable headband that uses sound pulses to help users fall asleep faster and improve deep sleep. The product, which has a median sleep onset time of 10 minutes, was tested at CES 2026, where it successfully put people to sleep amidst the show’s noise. Meredith has also been seen in noisy spots from a ferry to outside a Giants football game tailgate with Elemind’s “Sleep with Our CEO” campaign. Debbie Howard commented how light and comfortable Elemind is.
Sleep Awareness Week was March 8-14.
Recorded on March 12, 2026, this episode is part of our Longevity and CES Highlights Series. Both Elemind and Sensate are AgeTech Collaborative from AARP portfolio companies. Speakers are listed in their order of appearance.

Meredith Perry said “We did just get awarded a major grant from the UK medical research center alongside Imperial College London, University of Surrey, to look at how we can use Elemind’s technology to push the brain of a dementia patient into Deep sleep so that they can actually consolidate memories.”
