Here's another excerpt from the great conversation I had with Nancy Schwartz about a range of topics related to #healthtech and #aginginplace. You can watch the entire conversation here: https://youtu.be/JIX041druzM

I had a great conversation with Nancy Schwartz on her Envision #Healthy #Retirement #podcast where we talked about how #healthtech can support #seniors #aginginplace, as well as their #family and #caregivers. https://youtu.be/JIX041druzM

anyone know of companies working on this problem? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35410162

I don't know of any software ("MDM for seniors"), consulting ("MSP for seniors"), or membership/mailing list (a quarterly "AARP Tech Recommendations" with the changes in these comments - "Hand this flyer to your kids or grandkids").

arguably #AARP would be the ideal distributor, and maybe the only way to get the CAC and price low enough.

Really interesting article about the need for #UniversalDesign to support #AgingInPlace

Of course, anything that makes #accessibility easier is good for all of us - but especially the disabled community

Reducing Home Hazards Cuts Seniors' Risk of #Falling

Five steps can cut the risk of falls by 26%, the researchers reported in the March 10 issue of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Those steps are: decluttering; reducing tripping hazards; improving lighting; and adding hand rails and non-slip strips to stairs. #aging #AgingInPlace #FallPrevention

RT @HealthCities
By 2035, 25% of Canadians will be over 65. @MEDTEQ_CA and @AGEWELL_NCE just launched @envis_age an initiative to help older adults and care givers utilize technology to age in communities. 👏 #AgeTech #AgingInPlace

#OlderAmericansAct #OAA #AgingInPlace

I am trying to find examples of #grassroots, community led, responses to #aging and #AgingInPlace

Does anyone have any examples of groups or communities who took this on in Canada, United States, New Zealand, or Australia?

And by this - I mean #Caregivers, #Seniors, and other concerned local citizens leading the charge to change - who said LTC won't cut it, we want our community to change how we support our #elders.

Let me know #fediverse. I'm doing some research!

Please retoot!

This feels so decadent to me - As I get older and live alone with my 78 yo mom and I'm not exactly the strongest physically trying to lift those 5 gallons bottles to perch on top of the dispenser (we live in an area with hard water of questionable quality and safety and I can't afford a whole reverse osmosis- soft water system) I need water delivery without the hardship of lifting huge bottles.. enter.. AquaBarista (water bottle on the bottom!) #water #aginginplace

Always nice to see our research extended through reporting. https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/home-safety/how-to-age-proof-your-home-a6207544241/
