Empowering Independence Through Technology
It’s hard to find a home today that isn’t impacted by technology, from our private bedrooms and bathrooms to our kitchen and laundry areas. What might be small conveniences for some are critical tools for independence for others. By 2035, it is projected that there will be more adults over 65 than children under 5. Additionally, the World Health Organization estimates that one in six people lives with a disability.
Don’t miss this interactive showcase dedicated to technological advancements that support independent living for older adults and people with disabilities.
