The Use of Technology in Long-Term Care | Quick Homework Help

I’m trying to learn for my Psychology class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

In the past several years, there have been many advances in technology designed to support the adult and aging population in their day-to-day lives. For example, medical alert necklaces (“Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”) and lift chairs that assist seniors in rising from a sitting position. Many of these technologies allow seniors to continue to live independently in their homes for a longer period of time, and in some cases, save the lives of people who choose to live alone.

For this discussion, search the Internet, local publications, et cetera, and find a senior-assisted technology that you find interesting. Share the results of your search—why it interests you, how it works, and why it is of such value to seniors. Share your source of information; additionally, support your post with a minimum of one scholarly journal article related to the chosen technology.
