The Top 5 Tech Gadgets For Seniors

Experts describe it as a crisis of epic proportions. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that those 65 and older will outnumber children by 2035. This means that, by 2035, nearly every country in the world will grapple with the most transformational change in the history of mankind. In light of this, it’s imperative that we do all that’s necessary to meet the needs of our aging population. Below, we discuss the top Tech Gadgets for seniors and their contribution to the well-being of this important demographic.

Echo Show

The next iteration of Amazon’s Echo is the Echo Show. This smart device makes it easier for aging parents to stay in contact with family members. The Echo Show uses Alexa’s audio and video capabilities to facilitate communication. Seniors can use the app in a number of ways. They can watch weather updates, news flash briefings, and Amazon videos. They can also make shopping lists and stream music from Pandora, Spotify, and TuneIn.

MedMinder

MedMinder is a pill dispenser that allows seniors to organize their medication by days of the week. The dispenser is equipped with both visual and auditory alerts to remind the user to take his or her medication. If the medication isn’t taken, MedMinder lets caregivers know via a phone call or text. The compartments can be locked as well so that the pills are only taken at specified times. This smart pill dispenser is perfect for seniors who are at greater risk for forgetting prescription dosages and times.

LumiLux

Seniors appreciate the LumiLux Advanced 16-color Sensor Light for night-time bathroom visits. All in all, it’s very helpful during times of decreased visibility. The LumiLux has a light that attaches to the rim of the toilet. It’s activated when the LumiLux detects body heat. Additionally, the light comes with a lifetime warranty. The LumiLux offers a display of 16 LED colors; users can either choose one or a combination of colors.

Esky Key Finder

The Esky Key Finder is a wireless system that tracks items. The user attaches receivers to the items they want to track, such as keys, glasses, or cell phones. If the item is lost, the base unit will contact the receiver. In turn, the receiver will beep and light up. This gadget is perfect for seniors with memory issues. It’s unquestionably a useful tool. The key finder’s radio frequencies can penetrate through walls and floors. So, seniors can locate missing items quickly and easily.

LetroFan High Fidelity White Noise Machine

Seniors often suffer from insomnia or disrupted sleep. So, the LectroFan High Fidelity White Noise machine is a particularly useful tool. It drowns out disruptive noises and creates soothing, ambient sounds.

The LetroFan offers seniors 10 types of white, pink, and brown noises as well as 10 fan sounds. So, how do pink and brown noises differ from white noise? As a matter of fact, the LetroFan website explains the key differences clearly. Seniors who have trouble sleeping will undoubtedly appreciate this innovative device.
