Take away complexity. Add peace of mind.
Currently, there are many internet-connected (IoT) devices available for homes and businesses. Seniors and caregivers may find some peace of mind from the safety benefits of these devices. This post is the first in a three-part series discussing IoT devices. I’ll discuss what value IoT devices can provide seniors and their caregivers. Additionally, I’ll discuss possible privacy concerns using IoT devices.

This post discusses strategies for family and friends helping protect their parents or older friends and relatives from online scams.
