Africa is the world's youngest continent — but it's ageing faster than ever. By 2050, nearly 200 million Africans will be over 60. What will this mean for families, economies and the future of care?

Matt Lynch, CTO and co-founder of Sage, joins the show to share how his team is using modern technology to transform elderly care. From rethinking outdated nurse call systems to capturing real-time data that improves both patient safety and caregiver retention, Matt breaks down the technical and human challenges of modernizing this critical industry. This is a story of mission-driven innovation, scale, and the surprising role data plays in quality of life.Key Takeaways• The aging population is outpacing caregiver availability, creating an urgent need for tech-driven solutions.• Most facilities still rely on fragmented or low-quality data, making it difficult to improve care.• Real-time documentation and streamlined workflows give caregivers credit for their work and reduce burnout.• New technology can deliver results at a fraction of the cost of outdated systems.• Adoption succeeds when tech is simple, resident-driven, and seamlessly fits into caregiver routines.Timestamped Highlights00:34 — Why Sage was founded: the gaps in elderly care tech that inspired three co-founders04:36 — The looming scale problem: a 40% surge in the aging population with flat caregiver growth06:56 — How poor data practices erode care quality—and what synchronous documentation changes12:05 — Why old systems cost 10x more and how modern tools flip the economics18:06 — Giving caregivers proof of their work and reducing turnover with better data21:54 — Lessons in building: why focusing on workflow software beat hardware reinventionA line worth remembering“Caregivers finally get credit for the work they're doing—and that completely changes how families and facilities work together.”Pro TipStart simple.
