What’s Next for Senior Tech? -- Tools that are Transforming the Care and Well-being of Seniors in 2021 (Part 1)
|
Technology adoption among seniors is growing, and there are no signs of it slowing down. Older adults are using smartphones, wearables, voice-powered home assistants, and other smart home technologies with almost the same vigor as younger people, according to an AARP survey.
Tools that once may have seemed futuristic or out of reach are increasingly becoming a way of life. The main reason for adopting new technology, according to three-quarters of those surveyed, is a desire to age in place for as long as possible. Helping seniors to do so is a host of services and devices designed to support a healthier, safer, and more independent
lifestyle.

In part one of this article, we will discuss smart technology for freedom and flexibility in the home, home security technology, and smart contact sensors. Next week, we will focus on health and medical technology, wearables, and tech to
