Ageless Innovation CEO Ted Fischer on the Need for “Play” in Healthcare
What do we really need from healthcare? One thing that’s often overlooked is the need for a little fun. After all, play is not just for children. People of all ages can benefit.
In fact, according to this week’s A Healthier Future guest, those who are older are in need of play just as much as (if not more) than anyone else.
Ted Fischer, Co-Founder & CEO at Ageless Innovation, joins the podcast to talk about how his Joy For All products help elderly people and those with dementia in home care or care units. Joy For All Companion Pets are designed to bring comfort and companionship to elderly loved ones in addition to traditional care.
Ted talks about how he got started on his journey to create positive change as a serial entrepreneur, what his upbringing taught him about giving back in business, and how his work extends to mentorship programs to help young people. He also shares some words of wisdom for young entrepreneurs looking to make a difference and succeed in business.
