Why ElderMind?
1. Solve Real Problems, Not Just Theoretical Ones
At ElderMind, we don’t just build tech for the sake of it—we solve real challenges faced by elders and caregivers. If you’re a problem solver who wants to make a lasting impact, this is your chance to create technology that truly matters.
- Tech Enthusiasts: Build cutting-edge solutions using AI, ML, and robotics with a ready-to-use tech stack—no costly cloud setups or tedious groundwork needed. With plenty of support ready to provide you the perfect environment to make your impact, this is your opportunity to apply your skills to real world applications.
- Marketing & Sales Innovators: Help bridge the gap between technology and people by understanding the unique needs of elders and caregivers. Craft compelling stories, pitch ideas, and shape solutions that resonate with real users.
2. Don’t Do It Alone—Join a Powerful, Balanced Team
Doing this on your own is tough. Building connections with elder communities, caregivers, and industry experts can be overwhelming—and real innovation needs more than just tech skills. ElderMind helps you:
- Connect with like-minded students who bring diverse strengths: tech, caregiving, marketing, and more.
- Collaborate with teachers and mentors to make your project credible and impactful, leading to stronger connections and college recommendation letters.
3. Compete, Publish, and Get Noticed
Want to turn your work into awards, recognition, and publications? ElderMind will help you get there:
- Compete in top-tier challenges like the Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge and the Congressional App Challenge—with a strong support system behind you.
- Publish and present your solutions at conferences or in journals, enhancing your college resume and boosting your confidence.
4. Access Mentors, Resources, and Industry Networks
ElderMind offers much more than just tech tools. You’ll get:
- Personalized mentorship from experts in technology, healthcare, and marketing.
- University and industry connections that you couldn’t easily build on your own, giving your project the edge it needs to succeed.
