Abstract

Over the last few years, a number of technology products have come to market that have the potential to help older adults remain independent for longer, and reduce the stresses on caregivers that help them.

In this talk Dr. Caro will introduce you to some of these products that the community of Longevity Explorers has found to be especially useful. He will also give an overview of the different types of aging in place issues likely to be solved with technology solutions and set the stage for the follow-on seminars.

  1. I take several tablets for

    I take several tablets for various conditions, and so does my husband.  I found this discussion most useful thank you.  The lady who you mentioned first, kept hers in the bathroom, turned the bottle upside down, and used labels as well. Our issues are we forget to take our meds on some days, so we need a system that helps us not to forget to take them.
