Tech Smarter: Conversations at the Intersection of Aging, Innovation, and Technology

At The Smarter Service, we believe technology should empower, not overwhelm, older adults and the communities that serve them. That’s why our very own Tech Guru, Abbie Richie, hosts Tech Smarter, a podcast dedicated to inspiring conversations with leaders who are redefining what it means to age well in a digital world.

Each episode features candid, forward-thinking conversations with operators, investors, and innovators shaping the future of digital wellness and technology in senior living.
