How 'AgeTech' is Revolutionizing Care Choices
from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood
I call the first category better body. So, this category refers to technology that might actually help your body be more able to do things than it otherwise would. I'll give you a couple of instances, there's a tool called my seismic, and what it does is it straps on your back and around your body and it uses electricity to provide strengthening to your core. So, if you're a person with back pain, you're a person who has trouble walking. This can help you for several hours, be able to be more able to get some things done or do something really valuable to you. Like take a walk out to the park and look at the birds, right? That's an example of a tool that maybe you would be living in chronic pain, depressed at home alone. Or maybe you use this tool, and your body works better. ~ Benjamin Surmi- Social Gerontologist Get ready to explode with excitement as you listen to this riveting conversation between Benjamin Surmi and Kim Hegwood as they talk about the new technology that can improve your life and that of a senior you know.
