From your childhood to the present, your parents likely supported you and wanted you to be happy and independent. Today, an increasing number of Americans are seeing the tables turn.
Now that Baby Boomers have begun entering their retirement years, the children of this generation may have questions about how best to support their decision for aging in place. Over 90 percent of Americans report wanting to age in their home, causing families to consider how best to safely accommodate this wish.
Healthcare IT Expert from PA Consulting Group Nilesh Chandra talked to Forbes about the role that technology will play in this regard. He acknowledges that there is currently an explosion of technology aimed at helping older adults age safely, from wearable technology to Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices.
"One of the broader things we're seeing is the movement toward platforms," Chandra told Forbes. "The potential with platform is that you finally get to the place where all of this technology and all these different applications can talk to one another and exchange data with one another."
Since our inception, Independa has been working to reduce the stress of planning at home care for seniors. Our Angela™ platform offers something that many other digital devices and software solutions cannot. By a LG television, older adults are able to avoid social isolation, the number one issue for older adults looking to remain independent.
In conjunction with our Caregiver Dashboard, care recipients can enjoy the most advanced home care solutions. The Caregiver Dashboard allows caregivers access to Smart Reminders for events, medications and check-ins, as well as the ability to increase peace-of-mind through supporting other IoT-enabled devices.
