5 Age-Tech Startups in the U.S

The Age-Tech sector, dedicated to creating technology solutions for the aging population, has witnessed a surge of innovative startups across the United States in recent years. As the demographic landscape shifts and the number of older adults grows rapidly, entrepreneurs are addressing critical challenges such as social isolation, cognitive health, caregiving support, and independent living. They are leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, voice interfaces, robotics, and digital platforms, to develop these solutions.

Older adults wield substantial economic influence. Individuals aged 50 and above contribute a significant portion to the global GDP, which is projected to reach $65 trillion by 2030, representing 36% of the total global GDP. Additionally, by 2030, Americans over 50 are expected to spend over $200 billion annually on technology products, highlighting their considerable impact on the tech industry.
