Rose Villa Senior Living continues to drive innovation in senior living by partnering with The Malden Collective (TMC) to launch the LiveWell™ Tech Accelerator. Part of TMC’s Innovation Hub, the Tech Accelerator gives emerging companies an opportunity to pilot proven technologies in a senior living environment.  

The first LiveWell™ Tech Accelerator pilot is WalkWise, a resident monitoring tool that reduces falls by providing actionable data on changes in gait and mobility. The small battery-operated device attaches to residents’ walkers, canes, and wheelchairs and transmits the data without needing Wi-Fi. According to WalkWise Founder & CEO Peter Chamberlain, the technology helps prevent falls by up to 40 percent. 

Rose Villa CEO Glen Lewis said Rose Villa has a history of transforming senior living. “We are driven to innovate and continuously improve,” he said. “Fostering collaborative partnerships with organizations like The Malden Collective and WalkWise leads to creative tech solutions that improve the health and well-being of our residents and team members as well as others within the senior living sector.”

“Launching the LiveWell™ Tech Accelerator with Rose Villa is an ideal way to introduce emerging technologies that improve the quality of care in long-term care facilities in Oregon and nationwide,” said Barbara Kohnen Adriance, CEO of The Malden Collective. “Having access to residents, team members, and facilities while designing and prototyping elder-care products is a fantastic opportunity for companies with promising technology. Rose Villa residents and its innovative team are the perfect match to test drive these new technologies.” 

Expected to launch at Rose Villa this month, WalkWise will use insights and data gathered to enhance user experience and improve technology. Rose Villa will analyze this information and gather feedback from residents and team members to assess if the technology is a good fit and a worthwhile investment for the community. 

“Selecting technologies that improve safety and quality of life is essential for Rose Villa to remain a community where new generations of seniors want to live, where people want to work, and where both groups continue to thrive,” explained Lewis. “Participating in the Tech Accelerator helps us to make informed decisions without allocating substantial resources, time, and budget.”

Rose Villa, an independent nonprofit life plan community located at 13505 SE River Road, Portland, Oregon, has 262 independent living homes on a 22-acre campus that strategically takes advantage of the green space and river views. A completed 10-year campus redevelopment program adds a Creative Arts Building, a wellness center with a gym and yoga fitness studio, a saline pool, a slide and lazy river, and two dining venues. Rosebud Preschool opened on campus in spring 2023. Rose Villa is listed among the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon and the Top 100 Best Green Workplaces by Oregon Business Magazine.

Announcing FABULY: A New Free App to Experience Classic Novels and Short Stories With Seamless Synchronization Between Text and Audio

The new Fabuly app offers free access to an extensive library of classic novels and short stories, including renowned works like Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, or H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Available for iOS and Android, it is already downloaded more than 5,000 times with an impressive rating of 4.6 out of 5 on the Play Store.

In a market dominated by platforms like Audible, Kindle, and Everand, which primarily focus on contemporary bestsellers, Fabuly emerges as a refreshing alternative, offering free access to distinguished and timeless classic literature, including both novels and short stories.

Fabuly sets itself apart with its innovative synchronization feature between text and audio. This allows users to effortlessly switch between reading and listening, or to engage with both modes simultaneously, creating a truly immersive experience.

Providing access to our shared cultural heritage is a cornerstone of Fabuly’s mission. Time-honored classics such as Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are more than just books—they are pillars of our cultural legacy. Since they are now part of the public domain, these works belong to everyone. Fabuly makes accessing these masterpieces effortless by offering both text and audio formats.

With Fabuly, you’ll get to know where everything started. Who were the first vampires to haunt the public’s nightmares? What challenges did the famed detective face in the foggy streets of 19th-century London? Which enchanting tales captivated children over a century ago? How did romance and seduction play out among the early 1800s aristocracy? What secrets lie within the original story of time travel?

Within the app, Fabuly provides curated recommendations across a range of literary genres in both short and long forms. Whether you want to listen to a short story like Mark Twain’s The War Prayer during your commute or immerse yourself in foundational novels such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula on a long, rainy evening, Fabuly caters to your literary cravings in any setting. You can choose anything from our catalog or let yourself be tempted by our recommendations, cherry-picked by the editorial team.

Fabuly is still in its infancy, with more content and new features being added every week. Download the app on the App Store or the Play Store and learn more on the Fabuly website. You can also join the Fabuly Classics Facebook group to discover new releases and provide feedback.
