Tech for the Elderly - an Untapped Market? - Trustmarque

Tech and the elderly are often thought of as being incompatible. Everyone has spent painful hours teaching their grandmother how to text, and entire days have been dedicated to setting up a computer for an elderly person. But tech can actually help the elderly in numerous ways. From smart homes to wireless trackers, tech for the elderly can increase independence, alleviate the concerns of carers and relatives, and generally make life a whole lot easier. The elderly tech market should not be underestimated: the proportion of Britons aged 85 and over is expected to double from 2.5% to 5% within 20 years.
