As the US older adult population rises, more researchers and organizations are developing technological solutions to continue to allow adults to remain independent and productive longer. According to the U.S. News, by 2060, 25% of the population will be over 65 years old and nearly 40% of them own a smartphone. This emerging population is now seeing a market growth in devices to meet their unique needs, including: robotic companions, voice digital assistants, etc. The aim of these products is to continue provide a safe environment for adults to thrive as their health and financial situations become more complex while also still maintaining a level of autonomy and self sufficiency many pride themselves on. Whether through these state of the art technologies , or with assistance from Digital Grandparents, the future of older Americans is bright indeed.
