Israel Cross PhD, MA, CAPS, EC

I’m a public health gerontologist focused on aging in place, caregiving, and technology. That means I understand both the clinical reality of how older adults actually live and the ecosystem that supports them. I’ve been a caregiver myself, so I get the day-to-day challenges from lived experience, not just education. I’ve published on caregiving, and I’m already advising agetech companies. I’ve served on advisory boards, so I know how to add value without slowing things down. My real asset is my network in the geriatrics and aging space—and I translate between what’s clinically sound and what’s actually implementable in the real world.
