Our May 14, 2026 Project Updates episode featured Care2U Mobile Urgent Care, Thine AI Companion and Lunalino Home.

Lon Hecht, CEO of Care2You, explained their innovative model, which replaces ER visits and hospitalizations with in-home care. The model involves deploying clinicians like physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or paramedics to the home, accompanied by ER or hospitalist physicians via telehealth to patients' homes within 2-4 hours. Care2You treats complex medical needs, including pneumonia and congestive heart failure, COPD, infections, and dehydration (not immediately life threatening like heart attacks and head injuries), at a third of the cost of hospital care. We discussed the challenges and costs of using this model to solve the needs of rural care. Care2U also serves Senior Living communities.

King Lunalilo Trust provides long-term care and adult day care at Lunalino Home, as well as meal delivery services, grounded in Hawaiian culture and values. CEO Keola Dean described how Lunalino Home is able to provide unique entertainment and activities donated by a community that highly respects King Lunalino, who is fondly remembered as a progressive monarch.

Pratyush Rai described the concept of Thine, an AI platform designed to understand people with deeper context through conversations and other digital interactions. Thine was the next step after Foyer’s Merlin.

Pratyush highlighted the benefits of Thine for both young people and older adults, helping to manage information and improve productivity.

Linda Sherman has been beta testing Thine since May 1st and found it is unique in learning ambiently and piecing together conversations and environments. Thine can perform directed AI agent types of tasks when you connect it to your Google Drive and gmail. It also works with Slack. She has recently given her Thine a name - Richard - inspired by Linda’s relationship with her friend Richard Sherman who wrote the original music in our podcast intro and outro called Serenity.

Recorded on May 14, 2026, this episode is part of our Project Updates Series. Speakers are listed in their order of appearance.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day. We had three excellent speakers with products and a service that support people living with Parkinson’s.

Bryce Perry shared his 15-year journey with Parkinson's, emphasizing the importance of understanding Parkinson’s not just being aware of it. Bryce hosts two Parkinson’s support podcasts, is doing a special series on sleep and has 700 on a waiting list for The Club an upcoming support community app.

Vicki Mayo introduced TouchPoint Solution’s haptic wearable TouchPoints, which use patented BLAST technology with gentle alternating bilateral stimulation to help manage stress and tremors. Thodian is a new introduction that integrates with Apple Watch or FitBit.

Tyler Susko PhD explained Cadence Adaptive Shoes, which use variable friction to improve gait and stability, benefiting over 40,000 users. The attractive shoes, priced at only around $199 have shown durability in clinical trials, lasting over a million scuffs. Tyler went into details on how they were created.

All agreed that getting users involved early in the development process is essential.
