Join LogicMark CEO, Chia-Lin Simmons, and GOVTECH CONNECT CEO, Susan Sharer, on today's episode of the Fed to Fed Podcast.

We explore how human-centric innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are transforming medical alert systems and veteran care within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

When your mission is to care for people, an organization needs to move past "push-button" medical alerts using the latest in emerging sensor technology and data analysis, combined with empathetic design, to improve safety, independence, and response rates for personal emergency response systems (PERS).

We'll explore the challenges in developing this technology and examine how, by applying lessons learned, the VA and its partners have improved safety and independence for veterans while preserving the critical role of human responders during emergencies.
