Aging in Place Technology

Seniors & Their Families Need Better Products & Services. Why wait for someone else to develop them?

We think technology can help people experience higher quality of life as they age. But that what exists falls far short of what is possible.

We are the Aging-in-Place Technology Meetup, and we are working to change that.

Our goals: Conceptualize technology-enabled solutions to the challenges of aging, and implement them.

This Circle

The Aging in Place Technology Meetup holds a series of regular Meetups at which Citizen Observers, Sharers and Makers come together to discuss specific challenges of growing older, and conceive of well thought through solutions.
