Aging Independently, Connected Compassionately: How Privacy-First AI Can Support Older Adults and Their Families

Michael Nassirian, founder and CEO of Bellevue-based Thessai Corporation, will discuss how privacy-first technology can help older adults live safely and independently while giving families and caregivers greater peace of mind. Drawing on the personal experience that inspired Thessai, Michael will explain how discreet sensors and artificial intelligence can recognize meaningful changes in daily routines—without cameras or wearables. The presentation will also explore how community organizations, senior-living providers, and local leaders can work together to address the growing challenges of aging, caregiver burden, and social isolation.
