JubileeTV

1,200 miles. Dementia. And a daily 4:20pm phone call that kept mother and daughter connected. Yesterday, Business Insider featured our customer Heather Philbrick- Boynton's story, and it captures exactly why JubileeTV exists. When phone calls weren't enough anymore, Heather's son found JubileeTV. From 1,200+ miles away, Heather could watch her 83-year-old mom with dementia in real time, upload family photos to her TV, and see her light up with recognition. In Heather's words: "I'd upload photographs of our friends and relatives … and she'd look at the slideshow and reminisce. The photos would jog her memory." We've known from day one that families need better tools to care when they can’t be physically present. Stories like Heather's validate we're building something that matters.   Read the full story by Jane Ridley in Business Insider (link in comments).

“It’s been a game changer in keeping her happy and feeling like she has independence that she hasn’t had in a long time.” A daughter shared this about her mom—a 23-year Parkinson’s survivor living with dementia—who found connection and independence again through JubileeTV. “If you just make a positive impact on one person’s life, then you’ve made a difference in the world.” Stories like this remind me why we build... https://lnkd.in/gQBeiPpC

We talk a lot about longevity, but not enough about quality of life. I recently joined Frank Samson, CSA on the Boomers Today podcast to talk about how technology can help families care for their aging loved ones — not by replacing human connection, but by making it easier to stay close, even from afar. I’ve long admired Frank’s work spotlighting what it really means to age with dignity and purpose. Our conversation touched on so much — from the hidden strain caregivers carry to the small moments of joy that technology can bring back into daily life. At JubileeTV, that’s what we’re focused on: helping families feel more connected, supported, and at ease in the moments that matter most. Listen to our full conversation in the comments below.

✨ Big News! ✨ We’re honored that Wirecutter from The New York Times named JubileeTV the best universal remote for older adults aging in place.  Reviewer Adrienne Maxwell shared she was “impressed by the effective control, the clean onscreen TV interface, and the thorough remote.”  Thank you, NYT Wirecutter, for recognizing how we’re reimagining the most familiar screen in the home — transforming the TV into a caregiving hub that brings connection, peace of mind, joy, and independence to families everywhere. 

Today, Fast Company named JubileeTV a 2025 World Changing Ideas Award honoree, and I’m reflecting on why this recognition means so much to our team. It’s because it validates our impact. By 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. The caregiver-to-senior ratio is plummeting. And 90% of seniors want to age at home. Solving these dual aging and caregiving challenges will be one of the defining challenges of our time. Already we’re powering more than 10,000 moments of care every day. These moments are deeply personal. They’re emotional. Sharing an early cup of coffee with dad from 200 miles away. Turning on the Cardinals game. Sending grandpa a gentle reminder that it’s time for bed. Just looking to make sure mom is there. These moments also add up to something much bigger. A new path for how 90 million Americans will age at home by 2050. Fast Company sees it too. Thank you to our incredible team, our members, and to Fast Company for seeing the impact in what we do to support families and older adults. Here’s to building something that will redefine aging for an entire generation. See the full list: https://lnkd.in/gfHr32fa

I had the opportunity to join The Close on Bloomberg to discuss a pressing challenge: how technology can help us age better by shifting from expensive, reactive care to proactive solutions. The U.S. spends $400 billion annually on long-term care, yet people here spend more years in poor health at the end of life than anywhere else. The system reacts too late. JubileeTV is solving this by turning the most familiar, most trusted screen in the home, the TV, into an AI-powered platform that keeps people mentally sharp, physically active, and emotionally well. No learning curve. No new devices. Just better aging. This is a multi-billion-dollar market in need of scalable solutions. JubileeTV is here to deliver.
