Panelists:
Danielle Ennesser, CEO, Lifestone Link
I started my career in medical studies after a lifelong ambition of becoming a doctor. After graduating college, I deferred medical school for a year due to being selected as a Catherine Ivy Scholar for the Translational Genomics Institute (TGen) and working on signaling pathways for glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer. While holding this position, I found out my own mom had terminal cancer. In the five months from diagnosis to her passing, I saw how broken our healthcare system is and I had a realization, if you want to change it, you have to go policy wide so I sought my MPH to discover more about what other options were available. After completing my Masters of Public Health at Grand Canyon University, I fell in love with epidemiology and the crisis management aspect of public health, so I continued my studies for my doctorate of public health with Harvard while working with the WHO. Now, as CEO of Lifestone Link, I’m hoping to use my years of experience to focus on empowering our aging population.

Kyle Rand is the cofounder and CEO of Rendever, a virtual reality (VR) platform helping seniors combat social isolation through the power of shared experiences. Having always felt a close kinship to seniors, Kyle grew up volunteering at a senior living community and later went on to study cognitive decline in the aging population at Duke University. After a personal experience moving his own grandmother into a senior living community, Kyle experienced first-hand the effects social isolation has on seniors and cofounded Rendever as a result. Under Kyle’s leadership, Rendever is changing the lives of thousands of seniors in more than 450 senior living communities worldwide. Most recently, Kyle oversaw Rendever’s collaboration with UC Santa Barbara to start a multi-site clinical trial to observe the positive impact VR has on seniors.
