“How do you pull up at a table in some of these electric wheelchairs? It can be very difficult. How do you get in out of the car, etc.? So, some of the companies that are trying to give us the power offer some motor-powered mobility. But make it discreet, make it sleek, make it less heavy, make it easier to get in and out of a car. Make it easier to get in and out of a house.” Benjamin Surmi

Bio:
Getting support and care for an aging adult is often one of the most frustrating experiences for any family member or friend. It’s nothing like the customer-centric experience so familiar in other areas of our lives. And working in the field is just as challenging. Benjamin is a social gerontologist passionate to design surprisingly delightful user experiences for elders, their family members, and care professionals. He drives Koelsch Communities’ Innovation Lab, wellness and lifelong learning, employee and family education, workflow design, and culture initiatives
