Let’s talk specifically about “smart”…what’s possible outside the resident apartment, in the greater community? We’re going to look at community floor plans and discuss the landscape for deploying smart technologies in the common spaces. This will include both passive and active technologies and their impact on residents and staff. We are thrilled to have special guest Chad Kurdi, VP of Engineering with BKV Group, joining us for this discussion. We’ll dive into:

  • Autonomous machines: When do they make sense, from both the operator and family perspective?
  • Intra-community vs. intercommunity
  • Programmed spaces vs non-programmed spaces
  • Dumb room vs smart room
  • Mechanical considerations

Bring your questions to–or just listen in on–this 30-minute FREE, conversational session with Tazergy Founder/CEO Matt Haywood, SAGE President Jill Schroeder, and BKV Group Vice President of Engineering, Chad Kurdi.

Have a technology topic you want to learn more about in relation to senior living environments? Join us on TECHTalk and let us know what YOU want us to focus on for future sessions.
