Silver economy: Electronics to help you age better

Electronics offers many opportunities for the “silver economy” and the economy of aging well. Here are some examples :

Connected Things: Connected things, such as smart watches, motion sensors and home monitoring systems, can help older adults stay independent and live safely at home. These devices can also be used to monitor the health of older adults and to alert caregivers when needed.

Robotics: Robots can be used to assist older people with daily tasks, such as cleaning, cooking and shopping. Robots can also be used to provide medical assistance or to help older people get around.

Virtual reality: Virtual reality can be used to provide immersive experiences for older adults, such as virtual tours of museums and tourist sites, or to provide rehabilitation and therapy programs.

Communication systems: Communication systems, such as messaging apps and video calls, can help older adults stay connected with family and their friends, even if they are geographically distant.

In short, electronics offer numerous possibilities to improve the quality of life of the elderly and to promote an economy of aging well. However, it is important to ensure that these technologies are accessible and user-friendly for older people, to maximize their usefulness and impact.
