Wellness Products with Miri Berger, Dr. Namrata Bagaria and Carol Chiang OT
August is Wellness Month. We focused on Wellness Products. Miri Berger from 6Degrees explained their technology converting human motion into digital commands, aiding independence and pain reduction, with ongoing clinical trials at the VA and Mass General Brigham. Dr. Namrata Bagaria from Music and Memory Junction highlighted their nostalgia-based music engagement for cognitive and emotional well-being, sold in season passes. Carol Chiang’s new book “Age in Place or Find a New Space – How to create beautiful spaces that promote meaningful interactions” emphasizes early planning for aging in place, balancing financial considerations with personalized home modifications and the perspective of an Occupational Therapist. The speakers underscored the importance of technology, music, and home design in enhancing wellness. Some great AgeTech start-up tips in our founders’ journeys.
