Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Aging

Companies can greatly benefit from collaborating with academic researchers whose expertise is in the field of Aging. These researchers bring a deep understanding of the aging population, their needs, and the challenges they face. By working with them, companies can develop products and services that cater to the specific needs of older adults, improve existing offerings to be more age-friendly, and gain insights into market trends and opportunities in the aging market. Academic researchers can also provide valuable guidance in developing strategies for marketing to older adults, conducting user research, and implementing evidence-based practices. Overall, collaborating with academic researchers in Aging can help companies tap into a growing market segment, enhance their reputation as age-friendly brands, and drive innovation.

About
Dr. Jacob Kendall helps patients, caregivers, and providers do better at heart disease and, by extension, life in general. Our health is 4-dimensional (or more), and so should be our healthcare. He has had 2 open-heart surgeries and has been a full-time caregiver for multiple members with heart disease. Jacob also is a theogerontologist with a broadly interdisciplinary background in biology, social work, and public health. For fun (and also spiritual growth) he reads a wide range of literature, his favorites being quantum mechanics, animal behavior, early American history, religion, and Stephen King. Indeed, his lifelong goal since childhood has been to become a true Renaissance person, which also – in addition to the above – has included accumulating 25 passport stamps so far and learning and enjoying multiple musical instruments. He currently lives with his wife and son on Mobile Bay in Alabama.
