5. Successful Aging – a Big Problem:
• Health care for seniors - fragmented services, high cost, and suboptimal
outcomes.
• Ignore importance of quality of life that significantly impacts health
• Over next 18 years over 10,000 Baby Boomers in the U.S. turn 65 daily
– In 1990, 1 in 8 residents of Santa Clara County was over age 60.
– By 2010, 1 in 6 residents of Santa Clara County was over age 60
– By 2030 1 in 4 residents of Santa Clara County will be over 60
• Majority of seniors wish to age independently; in homes and
communities.
• Array of challenges; complex health issues, potential for social isolation,
and difficulty accessing existing community resources

Create Signal Detection Solution:
• Create solutions focused on “Signal Detection”
– Detection and use of signals of physical and social
health of our seniors

of impending events
• Potential to significantly improve health
outcomes and quality of life
• Implementable for seniors living in their day
to day world

13. linkAges™ Signal Detection Use
Case
• Mrs James is a 75 widow living alone in a 3 bedroom house in
Mountain View, CA
• In the last year she has become unsteady in her feet and has
fallen twice. From time to time she gets a little confused and
goes out to walk to the mall about 5 miles away
• Her daughter Jill, lives in Texas and is worried that her mother
is going to come to harm and no-one will be there to help
• Conceive of a system that could alert PAMF, Jill and others
that Mrs James has fallen or is wandering the neighborhood
• Better still conceive of system that will alert that Mrs James is
at risk of falling or wandering, allowing pre-emptive action
