What happens when AI, robotics, computer vision and automation move from the technology world into senior living?

In this episode of Bridge the Gap, host and guests Kyle Gardner of NIC MAP, and Jessie Lucci of AllieHealth continue their conversation about whether senior living is ready for the technology coming next. The panel explores how AI is already being adopted, from large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to camera-based visitor check-ins and fall-detection systems.

The conversation then moves from today's tools to the bigger questions: Could robots eventually take over certain operational tasks? Where does technology improve the caregiver and resident experience, and where is the human touch irreplaceable? The guests also discuss how operators should evaluate technology, why interoperability and security matter, and who should sit on a technology buying committee.
