Sheri Rose is the CEO and executive director of the Thrive
Center, a non-profit innovation center focused on wellness and
aging located in Louisville, Ky. She was named by Louisville
Business First as “Top 20 People to Know in Aging” and was
recognized by HealthTech Magazine as one of three women to
know in health IT.
In this episode, Sheri talks about why the Thrive Center exists,
how it came to be, what it is (and isn’t), and the reason it is
garnering global attention. She describes the impact of
COVID-19 on the center and its surrounding communities, and
what they have done to address the issues, such as the
exacerbation of social isolation of older adults.
Sheri also shares her take on some of the emerging
technologies and how they can better support aging in
community.
Finally, she examines the vital role that technology will play in
shaping the future of eldercare and what each of us can do to
be a part of the solution.
