Visitors are welcome!

    At our October meeting, Dr. Bruce Wallace provided an informative and useful outline of how technology can help us to age in place. He outlined how much technology has advanced in industry in our cars, and now also in our homes. The various sensors, such as temperature, movement, light, sound and many more, can also be of use as we grow older and need support. Continual monitoring can provide a baseline and note when there are significant changes. As an example, he noted that hearing loss can lead to withdrawal, isolation and eventually become a prime cause of cognitive decline. Following the presentation, there were a lot of questions and comments. More information can be found at www.sam3.ca.
