AARP to Collaborate with 10 Startups in MassChallenge’s HealthTech and FinTech Accelerator Programs

WASHINGTON–AARP Innovation Labs announced today its collaboration with 10 startups in the 2021 MassChallenge HealthTech and FinTech accelerator programs. MassChallenge, now in its 12th year, accelerates innovation by forming collaborations between later-stage digital health and financial startups with industry-leading organizations, like AARP, to solve some of the greatest challenges in health care and the financial services industry. As part of this work, the startups will present to potential investors and business customers at AARP Innovation Labs’ annual Demo Day on May 25.

“As AARP continues to provide innovative solutions to empower people to choose how they live as they age, it is critical we collaborate with like-minded innovators focused on solving today’s health care and financial challenges, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic endures,” said Andy Miller, Senior Vice President of AARP Innovation Labs. “The startups in this year’s cohort are focusing on some of the biggest issues impacting older adults today, from remote home care to patient monitoring, and managing student debt to home expenses.”
