Digital Tools for Seniors
Seniors are experiencing technology at a large rate! If you are interested in what technology to use, here are some digital tools that seniors can benefit from:
Tablets
Many seniors are replacing some of their digital devices with tablets since it gives them a bigger screen for video calling, sharing pictures, and even using it to read digital books as the text is larger.
Skype
Skype is a video calling app that is very popular with seniors who have grandchildren and other family members who live far away from them. Although it doesn't replace face-to-face interaction, it gets the job done well enough.
Fitness Trackers
Fitness Trackers, especially wearable ones, are a great way for seniors to monitor their physical activity and sleep. This will be excellent as seniors will be more informed about their health, and they can adjust their lifestyles to be healthier.
Smartwatches
Wearable smartwatches are portable devices that can do many things with easy access to them on your wrist. They are touchscreen and have many features such as receiving notifications, GPS, apps, fitness tracking, and calling. So instead of reaching for your phone, you can do all this on your watch!
Transportation Apps
Transportation apps such as Lyft and Uber are helpful for seniors who do not drive anymore. They are easy to use and provide a convenient way to request for a ride just by using your smartphone. These apps also provide food delivery service if that is what you are more interested in.
