This week is an exciting week for high-tech gadgets, and
even more so for older adults. The IFA,
which is the leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances,
opened its doors Friday for its annual six-day trade show in Berlin. Companies flocked to show off their latest
tech-savvy development. What’s even more impressive? This year, the electronics
fair is offering guided tours for the over-60 age group, to show them what’s
new and hot for the market of a certain demographic.
According to Eurostat,
Berlin had the most inhabitants over the age of 65 in Europe. Along with the
latest smart TVs, tablets and high-end coffee-makers, you could find new mobile
phones with bigger buttons, robotic vacuum cleaners to make household chores a
little easier, and the latest in hearing aid technology, reports Bangkok
Post.
With
all these new developments, the aging adult will have a wider selection of
technological toys to play with that will not only be fun to explore, but can
help improve daily tasks. If doctors are starting to turn to the uses of
smartphones and tablets to help them help their patients understand a diagnosis
or prescription, then shouldn’t technology be developed so that anyone,
regardless of age, can use it?
Leana
Wen, 29, who is completing her medical residency in emergency medicine at
Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, say’s that she
“finds her smartphone as handy
as her stethoscope. Its apps help her quickly figure out proper medicine doses
for critically ill patients, or translate medical instructions for
Spanish-speakers. That means she doesn't have to wait for a hospital translator
to arrive, and she thinks it makes patient care safer,” reports the Calgary Herald.
As the health care
industry moves toward the development of applications for phones that help
patients monitor their own prescription doses, or set a reminder for when they
should take their next pill, development of easy-to-use gizmo's are important,
and demand for them is increasing.
So tell us – what
is your must-have device? What gadget do you think needs to be improved? How do
you think they can be improved? We want to hear from you!
Ohh.. i really think that security gadget must be security cameras....
