Future‑Proofing Aged Care: David Waldie on Tech, Workforce & Business Model Shifts

Summary:
In this session, David Waldie — founder and MD of eevi — cuts through the noise around aged care, home care and retirement living to focus on what really drives success in the coming years.

🔍 Key themes he covers:

• The workforce isn’t just a cost‑factor anymore — it will make or break operators. Technology must act as a multiplier to get the most from people. The Weekly Source
• Data and sensor platforms (like those developed by eevi) are no longer future‑tools: they’re foundational. They enable real‑time insight into residents and help staff respond smarter, not just faster. The Weekly Source
• The residential care and village model is evolving — higher acuity, blended service lines and resident expectation shifts mean traditional care footprints will be challenged.
• For operators: it’s less about building more beds and more about building smarter systems, smarter operations, smarter culture.
• He emphasizes that the immediate bottleneck isn’t capital or real estate — it’s staffing, skills, and the systems to support them. The infrastructure you build is only as strong as the workforce it supports. The Weekly Source

Why you should watch this (especially for operators, providers and content strategists):

• If you’re in the aged‑care, retirement‑living or home‑care space, Waldie’s insights map out the what’s next for your business model.
• His angle helps frame content and strategic messaging: workforce + tech + business model = the new triad of competitive advantage.
• Great source material for articles, social posts or internal strategy summaries that focus on transformation, not just evolution.
