One of the big problems highlighted by this report is that we have a vast array of products already in the market and we are in danger of overwhelming people with choice. Once again, much better #customerdiscovery and #designthinking, not to mention clearer education and messaging is crucial!

Of course, we will see a huge increase in sensors, cameras, and voice interactions in the home in the next few years -the question for me is how well integrated will it be as well as safe, private, accessible and user-friendly for #olderadults and their #caregivers! #healthequity #digitaldivide

So much here to talk about and work on - our latest research shows 22% of all broadband households are caregivers - that market alone is going to need new innovation and technologies to really be able to accomplish the health at home ideas that are really taking off. no doubt its worth it too - with lots of studies saying that people just do better off in their own home environment. some of our research is noted in Laurie's great report.
