The last few months, our Founder Dr. Shade had the privilege of attending two significant events that provided valuable insights into the evolving med tech landscape.
Aging Tech Summit: Innovations for a Greying Population
The Aging Tech Founders Summit was a thought-provoking event that showcased the latest technological advancements designed to improve the quality of life for older adults. From smart home devices to wearable health monitors, the innovations on display were truly impressive.
One of the key takeaways from the summit was the growing importance of technology in addressing the challenges associated with aging. As the global population ages, there is an increasing need for solutions that can help individuals maintain their independence, improve their overall well-being, and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. We at Voice-It Inc. are ready to take on this challenge.
Sharing Grant Funding Insights: A Personal Journey
Dr. Shade was given the opportunity to share her experiences as a start-up founder applying for grant funding. Dr. Shade shared the challenges faced, the lessons I learned, and the strategies that ultimately led to the submission of an SBIR grant application.
One of the main points emphasized was the importance of thorough research and time for preparation. Identifying the right opportunities, crafting compelling proposals, and building strong relationships with collaborators such as the Nebraska Economic Development are all essential steps in the grant application process.

Conclusion
Attending these two events provided a valuable opportunity to learn about emerging trends in the Aging Tech industry and provide discussions about securing grant funding. We will use these experiences to continue driving innovation and growth in Voice-It Inc.
