ProblemsProblems With the increase of elderly people population:With the increase of elderly people population:
Rising Health Care Costs More investment is needed for elderly care
Many elderly people choose to stay at home e.g., Due to privacy/dignity issues.
A majority of older adults are challenged by chronic and acute illnesses and/or injuries. 80% of older Americans have one or more chronic
diseases. The growing insufficiency of traditional family
care i.e., decreased care by relatives
Decrease in the working population will cause a shortage of skilled caregivers.

Privacy is one of the major issue Too battery-hungry and battery drain quickly
(e.g., smart phones) Devices must be lightweight, small, and
comfortable to wear and use Elders often have no idea using computers,
smartphones and other technological tools their interaction with them must be simple And limited to a minimum
