Not exactly yet but the tech is pointing us to a healthier senior life. Statistics are for a senior that falls and breaks a hip. When living alone, the odds are even worse.
Yesterday, I literally fell while riding a bike in the rain. I continue thinking about this tech and how to best use it for seniors.
Imagine devices that inflate on falling. Watches that monitor steadiness, stability and calculate odds of falling. The watch detects actual falls and communicates to family and support services. It’s a better future.
