Minimal icons in a large format are presented on the touch screen, with a high contrast color schemes and senior friendly fonts that deliver an easy-to-use interface.

“Seniors often feel isolated from friends and family,” said Stan Ciepcielinski, founder of SEI-TEK™ and the inventor of Savi™. “Simple, easy, intuitive technology is our mission. We believe technology should be accessible to people of all ages. That’s why SEI-TEK™ Inc. develops solutions that help seniors and technologically wary individuals stay connected.”SEI-TEK™’s vision is to create a community of users that will benefit from relevant content and services that interest seniors.
