Designing Health Technology for the Reality of Aging at Home
Why digital health products need to reflect how older adults actually live, move, and receive care at home. Healthcare is increasingly moving beyond the walls of clinics and hospitals. More care is happening in the home than ever before — through telehealth, remote monitoring, digital exercise platforms, and virtual care models.
