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. How 'AgeTech' is Revolutionizing Care Choices What does the term AgeTech mean? How can age-tech help seniors? What should you have in an age tech toolbox? How do I find and evaluate age-tech tools? How can these tools help someone with dementia? What kinds of age-tech and innovative techniques the average caregiver might be able to use? Why are age-tech tools important How to Contact Benjamin: Email: [email protected] Tel: 360.867.1900 Web: www.koelschseniorcommunities.com Bio: Getting support and care for an aging adult is often one of the most frustrating experiences for any family member or friend. It’s nothing like the customer-centric experience so familiar in other areas of our lives. And working in the field is just as challenging. Benjamin is a social gerontologist passionate to design surprisingly delightful user experiences for elders, their family members, and care professionals.
