Sometimes it seems that everything is done in Ukraine in order only young and very healthy people can survive here.
No infrastructure, no transport, no premises, no city in general are adapted to the needs of people with disabilities and children. And here the elderly people are not thought about, everyone pretends that there are no such people.
Meanwhile, modern science provides the elderly with technologies to make the quality of their lives more comfortable. So the Israeli experts have long been engaged in the development of technological solutions specifically for those over 60. If someone thinks that this product is not profitable, I would admit that investors are very willing to invest in such developments, because they are in demand.
For example, the Vitalitix app: it is focused on improvement of communication between a user, his family (or guardians) and volunteers. Thus an elderly person does not feel lonely, his security increases, because he is always in touch. The app also helps to move both at home and around the city.
The Kytera application is a bracelet with a sensor: children can monitor movements of their elderly parents at home. If a person's movement is different from the usual one, the device immediately notifies you of an emergency situation.
There is also a mobile app that can analyze the degree of safety of drug therapy for the individual patient and will remind him of medication taking at the right time.
There are apps that don’t only analyze wellbeing of an older person, but also give specific advice on the stabilization of the state of health.
An interesting program, which, in my opinion, is necessary for not only the elderly: the virtual assistant that guides and encourages physical activity of patients using home exercises. The interface does not just show video lesson, but also sets you a specific goal, increases your motivation, and then tracks the results.
There is a variety of different programs that make life of the elderly easier, but the essence is the same: in Israel they think about the comfort of their older generation and try to make it as accessible as possible, and life - pleasant.
