When we think of wearables, we envision fitness trackers and smartwatches which are obviously targeted for young people. However, many of us don’t realize that elderlies need wearables too; they need them to function independently. Seniors may be motivated to track a chronic condition or another underlying health issue. Elderly wearables can make life easier for both elderlies and their caregivers. There are advanced wearable devices that go beyond just step counts – they can monitor daily activities, send alerts, and even prevent falls. The following companies provide stunning health and wellness solutions for the elderly, and they are going to exhibit at our WT | Wearable Technologies Show 2018 MEDICA in Dusseldorf November 12-15. Please visit our exhibition and read on to learn more about these companies.
