CEDIA's Daryl Friedman emphasized that technology vendors can significantly benefit from focusing on smart-home solutions for older adults wanting to age in place, utilizing unobtrusive devices.
Friedman highlighted that aging in place means older adults can remain in their homes safely and comfortably, without relocating to nursing homes, allowing for greater independence.
He noted the importance of unobtrusiveness in tech, stating that seniors prefer not to be monitored and that innovative solutions like fall detection sensors will help address aging in place.
While wearables offer potential, Friedman pointed out issues like forgetfulness and charging, indicating a need for smart solutions that don't require active user engagement for emergency situations.
