Empowering Human-Centric Innovations for a
Better Aging Future
Living Best operates as a specialised market infrastructure for ageing innovation.
Through our proprietary Market Performance Indicator (MPI) framework, we evaluate global AgeTech solutions using structured user insight, expert analysis, and institutional assessment.
Operating from Japan – the world’s most advanced ageing society – we identify which innovations can realistically succeed within complex care and healthcare systems.
HOW LIVING BEST EVALUATES AGETECH
Evidence streams powering our MPI framework

User Group
Older adults, carers, and families across Japan who participate in concept reviews, usability evaluations, and lived-experience insight sessions.
Professional Group
A global community of researchers, clinicians, policymakers, innovators, investors, and ageing specialists contributing expert interpretation and thematic depth.
Unique Methodology
Our proprietary evaluation framework integrating user evidence, expert review, and Japan-specific institutional analysis to assess real-world adoption potential.
