Technology is transforming senior care by addressing critical gaps in services and helping older adults maintain independence, dignity, and safety while aging in place. 

• Aging in place technology helps seniors identify and address home safety issues like grab bars, ramps, and removing trip hazards
• Telehealth addresses transportation barriers and infection risks while helping seniors access care despite doctor shortages
• Transportation remains one of the biggest challenges for seniors, with public transportation often being unreliable or time-consuming
• Multi-generational housing and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are gaining popularity as affordable housing solutions that reduce isolation
• Digital monitoring systems can be personalized to seniors' preferences—from emergency-only alerts to comprehensive activity tracking
• Medication management technology helps track compliance and provides critical data to healthcare providers
• Social determinants of health (safe neighborhoods, housing, transportation, social connection) are increasingly addressed through technology
• Digital equity remains a significant barrier, particularly in rural and low-income communities
• Medicare Advantage plans are beginning to cover more technology solutions, especially for remote patient monitoring and chronic care management
• Implementation and education are crucial—seniors need support to fully utilize available technology

Age tech is here to stay, and empowering seniors to use these tools effectively is the key to widespread adoption and improved quality of life.
