How can care homes benefit from assistive technology?
Answers
The advent of smart speakers and smart boilers has made the concept of ‘smart homes’ a reality. As technology adoption continues to grow, the so-called ‘silver generation’ (55 – 70 y/o) is becoming more tech-savvy and more open to using technology to help with everyday tasks.
Having access to assistive care solutions can dramatically improve the quality of life for the elderly as they can respond to issues such as fires and maintain contact with friends and family, access online services, and communicate effectively with caregivers.
