We want our seniors to live healthy, happy, and safe lives. Innovative wearable technology and devices can help make this happen.
You may have heard about Wearable Technology — another hot topic of the ever-growing tech sector — along with other potential tech game changers such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and Quantum Computing. And while all of these technologies promise to contribute greatly to humanity on a global scale, the one that will have the most profound impact on the daily lives of seniors is Wearable Tech.
Tech tools
Utilizing comfortable, easy-to-use, connected devices will change the way we communicate with and care for our aging family members. Connecting these devices to IoT platforms will allow loved ones, caregivers, and responsible authorities to automate everything from simple location awareness, basic healthcare alerts, and medical emergency responses, as well as the very fundamental phrases, “How are you this morning?” and “I love you.” These integrated systems will allow seniors greater independence and a better quality of life, and enable them to stay at home longer without compromising their safety.
Design that saves lives
With the evolution of technology, seniors can now wear the same innovative designs on their wrist that their “cool” millennial grandchildren wear, but with operating systems specifically engineered to respond to the unique challenges seniors face every day. This elevates a mainstream device from being a trendy gadget to an essential life-saving and health-and-wellness safety companion. As people live longer, their need for innovative solutions that enable them to live more healthily, happily, and safely will be a crucial mission on which Wearable Tech can deliver. In addition, their loved ones and caregivers will enjoy greater peace of mind.
