This is one of the first well-focused concepts in elder tech (did I just invent that term?)

Sedentary seniors only need a small connection to make a big difference in their lives.

There's a question today due to the rise of wellness.

As the years pass, we will see a greater number of stories where activity watches signal serious conditions.

When working with seniors small things make a big difference in their lives.

I tell everyone in our company that fall detection is the most important feature of these watches.

We’ve worked with classical RPM, remote patient monitoring, and more wellness-focused clients.

Phones are the gateway to both RPM and remote wellness. Over ten years ago I was the person responsible for my parents' tech and buying and configuring a phone was as challenging as any work project requiring a deep analysis on tech, usability, costs, and future proofing.

I'll say that this particular Amazon product is a privacy nightmare. But what I'm interested in is the tech it shows us that will be available in service to seniors and the family that cares about them. America had a lonely senior population problem. Not all but a significant number. This leads to depression and isolation.

We are social creatures. We depend on each other in physical and emotional ways. Technology is a challenge to that and there’s a big divide based on these technology differences. One of the things that we are doing in our work is finding new ways to incorporate and integrate wellness into what we do every day.
