Editor Steve recently finished reading these two books and recommends them. The first, Klondike Playboy is an autobiography by John Boden, known in this industry as CEO of ElderIssues, Florida, and the second, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff is essential reading these days for anyone who has to sell new product ideas. Let's just say you won't want these techniques used against you!
And then, of course, there are the perpetual favourites that everyone in every equipment supplier company should read over and over again, by Geoffrey A Moore.

CES highlights |

Updated 13 January The Consumer Electronics Show this week is when gadgets take over Las Vegas. Out of the seemingly endless stream of releases and news out of CES--plus Living in Digital Times and Silvers Summit which focus on technology to assist the older adult--some highlights from Day 2:
The Silvers Summit's first-ever Sterling Award, co-sponsored with AARP, was awarded in five categories to some companies familiar to TA readers:
The top five winning entries were posted to the Silvers Summit website and Facebook page. The competition relied on social media to invite the public to choose their favorite among the five to select the "Silvers Choice" award. In addition, a 'people's choice' was selected via votes on the Silvers Summit website and Facebook page--GC Homebase by GrandCare Systems. And Martin Cooper, who while at Motorola in the 1970s pioneered the cellular phone (a brick at the time), received their first Innovator Award. Quote of the day? "Best way to think out of the box is not to make boxes in the first place". Follow Silvers Summit on Twitter #silverssummit and #ces Independa, developer of both the Internet-connected Angela and Artemis web-based social connectedness + telehealth systems [TA 10 Dec], is going 'basic POTS telehealth' with Health Measures, which connects over the phone to their Caregiver Web App. Independa also announced a new alliance with the Zenith division of LG Electronics to integrate the Angela social connectedness web services with their specifically designed multimedia commercial TVs to be installed in LTC communities. A very smart idea in integrating with a global company which has a strong chance of breaking through in this area with AL and SNFs. Release. On the sleep monitoring front, relatively new entrant NovaSom is partnering with Verizon Wireless to offer the NovaSom AccuSom home sleep test for sleep apnea (a/k/a obstructive sleep disorder or OSD). AccuSom is the only FDA-cleared wireless home diagnosis test available for OSD. It measures respiration airflow, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, respiration effort and snoring. Release.
