It’s a fact: People grow older. The good news is that technology is helping address medical issues and contributing to healthier living. Technology is also able to keep people living at home without moving to a care facility. This has led to the “Aging in Place” movement and it is gaining momentum given the explosive growth of the senior population.
As of 2000, there were approximately 35 million Americans over the age of 65. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2030 there will be approximately 71.5 million Americans over the age of 65. This represents nearly 20 percent of the entire projected U.S. population in 2030. They will need assistance, and caretakers will be looking for technology to help. How many of these people, and their caregivers, are your customers?
