Which gadget, tech tip, or trick do you find useful as an older adult?
Answers
1. Ring Video Doorbell 3
Ring provides security devices that make people’s homes safe by watching inside and outside activities. I like Ring’s products for seniors because the doorbells let seniors know who is at their door, so they can decide whether they need to get to the door. These gadgets have two-way communication. (Seniors can also keep track of the activity in their home based on what product they pick)
2. TinyLogics Memo Box
To live happy and healthy lives, many of us are using prescribed medications as we get older. When we have more prescriptions, it’s challenging not to forget to take them when we have to. This is where Memo Box’s smart pillboxes show up to help. I prefer the Memo Box 7 Day pillbox. It reminds older adults via an app and visual reminders on the box to have their medications.
3. IRobot® Roomba® 694
It’s not a huge deal to get help cleaning your home, although you can do it yourself. A robotic vacuum is a device released a while ago and helped zero to 99 years old people clean their homes. I’m into these devices. I know robotic vacuums cannot be compared with a home aid cleaning or even yourself, but they make it easier in your tiredness and sickness.
4. Tile Stickers
Tile helps people to find things they miss easily by different types of devices. These products are activated by a smartphone app and use Bluetooth. Tile’s stick-on finder is a great deal for older adults designed to stick to homeowners’ easily missed items (TV remotes, glasses case, etc.).
