AgeExplorer

AgeExplorer is a German brand centred on age-simulation equipment — most prominently the so-called Alterssimulationsanzug (age-simulation suit), a wearable rig that lets users experience some of the physical limitations associated with ageing. The brand operates primarily as a rental service: organisations and individuals can hire an age-simulation suit, either with or without trained supervision, for training sessions, workshops, seminars, congresses, open days, health days and job or careers fairs. Its website presents the offer as backed by "25 years of experience" and "over 30,000 participants", and it markets its moderators as having top ratings. The service is aimed at a range of audiences, including nursing and care professionals, product and packaging developers, private-client advisers in banking and insurance, doctors, pharmacists and general staff at health events. AgeExplorer's site guides prospective customers through a short set of filter questions — the purpose of the event, the type of event and the target group — to help them find the right rental package. It also offers an eBook with tips and rental prices, requestable in one click. Alongside rental, AgeExplorer points customers who need age simulation more frequently — such as universities and development departments — toward purchasing their own equipment. For that, it directs visitors to Age Suit Germany GmbH, the company that produces and sells the AgeMan® age suits developed by Dr. Gundolf Meyer-Hentschel, as well as a wider range of age-simulation tools. These include glasses that simulate age-related eye conditions and simulators for hemiparesis, tinnitus, tremor and shortness of breath. AgeExplorer therefore sits at the applied end of the age-simulation market: a rental and facilitation brand that connects organisations wanting hands-on empathy training with the underlying AgeMan® product ecosystem. Its positioning is practical and experience-based, emphasising the quality of its moderators and the breadth of event formats it supports rather than manufacturing the hardware itself.

AgeExplorer is a German brand built around the rental and facilitation of age-simulation suits. Its website presents the operation as drawing on "25 years of experience" and having served "over 30,000 participants", positioning it as an established provider in the German-language age-simulation training market. The brand's core activity is hiring out age-simulation suits — wearable equipment that lets users feel some of the physical constraints of ageing — either with or without trained supervision, for a range of event and training formats. The brand's offering is structured around the needs of different customer groups. Prospective clients are asked to specify the purpose of their event (public event, continuing education or workshop), the type of event (open day, health day, trade or job fair) and the target audience (nursing and care professionals, product or packaging developers, private-client advisers in banking and insurance, doctors, pharmacists, or general staff at a health day). This structure reflects the brand's focus on applied, empathy-building training rather than on manufacturing. For customers who need age simulation more frequently — universities and development departments are named as examples — AgeExplorer points them toward purchasing their own equipment rather than renting each time. It directs these visitors to Age Suit Germany GmbH, the company that produces and sells the AgeMan® age suits developed by Dr. Gundolf Meyer-Hentschel, along with a broader portfolio of age-simulation tools. These include glasses for experiencing age-related eye conditions and simulators for hemiparesis, tinnitus, tremor and shortness of breath. AgeExplorer thus functions as the rental and service-facing arm of an age-simulation ecosystem whose product side is Age Suit Germany GmbH and the AgeMan® brand. Its history is tied to the wider development of age-simulation suits as training tools in German-speaking Europe, where they have been used in care, product design and customer-service training. The brand continues to operate an active website offering suit rental, supervised sessions and an eBook with tips and rental prices.
