WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY:

Pete Guard, a Cabin-experience strategy leader, is guiding Boeing's efforts to improve in-flight design for aging passengers. He is working with the Live Well Collaborative in Singapore to learn more about the aging population. Why the focus on Singapore?

“Singapore is moving a lot faster than the rest of the world. It’s at the epicenter of a trend that’s starting to play out – all the issues of mobility, assistance, and longevity. We’ll work through their university systems and design schools to help develop projects that will give us a better idea how to support travelers around the planet.”
From the February 2011 issue of Fast Company

Matt Doyle, Director and Senior Researcher in Health Care at P&G, describes the Live Well's contributions to P&G's new innovation strategies:

“The richness is phenomenal. The UC students are totally open in their approach and their designs have been very productive for us. It’s exceeding our expectations.”
