As life progresses, it is natural that our bodies and minds begin to pace themselves, making simple tasks a bit more difficult. Fortunately, with the further progression of technology, we have smart devices that aid us in our homes, assist us in tasks that take time, and make life more manageable.
Previously, we discussed four ways that smart technology could benefit the elderly. This time, however, we will provide further insight into smart devices that will help older people in their daily lives.
Face tracking webcams

Meeting face-to-face with grandparents is a treat that cannot be replaced. A certain joy is achieved when seeing happy children running around. However, this cannot be the case all the time. Sometimes, busy schedules keep people from visiting, so we have online meetings!
Webcams are great to have whenever you meet with friends and family online. It doesn’t beat onsite interaction but still fills the void of loneliness. Older adults sometimes have difficulty discerning where to look whenever a video call is initiated, making things awkward or funny. With Aicoco Smart Webcam, the elderly wouldn’t need to worry about where it focuses because it has face recognition tracking that will flawlessly follow the subject wherever they are in the picture.
Allow the webcam to focus on their lovely smiles so that you can focus on having a meaningful interaction.

This applies to everyone but is frequently seen in our dear ol’ Lolos or Lolas, which usually forget about things or lose items. Be it wallets, purses, house keys, etc. To counter this, having trackers can be immensely useful! Using Bluetooth technology, this tracker can find your things within a range of 120 meters. If the item is within tracking range, allowing for easier location. Keep track of your valuables all the time!
