12:50 – 1:50 p.m.

Session 1: Aging in Place Technology
Led by Andrew Olowu, Chief Technology Officer, Axxess

Technology is rapidly transforming how care is delivered at home from wearables and remote monitoring to ambient voice documentation, bots, and AI-powered tools. These innovations hold enormous promise for helping people age in place with safety, dignity, and better outcomes. But the field is fragmented: multiple platforms, competing approaches, and limited interoperability risk creating confusion for providers, patients, and families alike.

This panel will explore critical questions at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and care standards:

• Home Monitoring & Wearables: Do we need national standards or public guidance to ensure these technologies deliver real benefits without overwhelming consumers and clinicians? Could alignment with the 5Ms of geriatrics or the IHI Age-Friendly Health Systems framework provide a path forward? What role should the National Alliance for Care at Home play in shaping these standards?
• Clinical Documentation & AI: From ambient listening devices to automated note generation, new tools are reshaping how home health and hospice providers capture clinical information. Do these approaches comply with current privacy, billing, and regulatory requirements? Where is more regulatory clarity needed? How should the field balance innovation with compliance and trust?

Panelists will bring perspectives from clinical care, technology development, policy, and advocacy to chart a path toward coherent, trustworthy frameworks that enable technology to truly strengthen care at home.

1:50 – 2:50 p.m.

Session 2: Interoperability in Care at Home

The ability of technology systems to “talk to each other” remains one of the most pressing challenges in care at home. Providers often juggle multiple platforms, EHRs, scheduling systems, telehealth tools, billing platforms, and more, that fail to share data seamlessly. This creates inefficiencies for staff, risks errors in patient care, and drives up administrative burden. At the same time, national efforts to improve interoperability in healthcare have not always addressed the unique realities of home health, hospice, and personal care.

This session will examine the roadblocks and opportunities in advancing interoperability in care at home:

• How can vendors, providers, and policymakers work together to ensure data flows smoothly across systems?
• What is needed to drive standards, promote vendor collaboration, and advance solutions that reflect the unique needs of the care at home community?

Panelists will discuss emerging solutions, share case examples, and debate the future of interoperability, with a focus on building an ecosystem that reduces burden and enhances patient-centered care.

2:50 – 3 p.m.

Break

3 – 4 p.m.

Session 3: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Care at Home
Led by Beau Sorensen, COO, Visionbound Health

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving from theory to practice in healthcare, with profound implications for care at home. From predictive analytics that identify patients at risk of hospitalization, to natural language processing that automates documentation, to machine learning models that optimize staffing and scheduling, AI promises to transform how organizations deliver care. Yet questions about ethics, bias, transparency, and regulation loom large.

This session will explore the opportunities and risks of AI in home health, hospice, and personal care:

• Which use cases are already demonstrating measurable improvements in quality, efficiency, or patient outcomes?
• How should providers evaluate AI tools for reliability, equity, and compliance with privacy and billing rules?
• What safeguards are needed to ensure AI augments, rather than replaces, the human relationships at the heart of care at home?
• How can the sector engage with policymakers to shape responsible oversight without stifling innovation?

Leaders in technology, operations, and policy will share perspectives and lessons learned, helping organizations navigate this fast-evolving landscape and prepare for an AI-enabled future of care at home.

4 p.m.
