# JubileeTV

> JubileeTV is an Oakland-and-San Francisco AgeTech company that plugs a small console into an aging parent's existing television and hands the adult children a phone app. From anywhere, families can fix the TV, start a full-room video call, send medication reminders, and check in - without asking a 78-year-old to learn a new device. Born from the ashes of a smart-remote startup called Caavo, it now reaches tens of thousands of families and sits on more than 70 patents.
