Age in Place technology Kickstarters to watch this week
Kickstarter is a bit annoying to navigate. Specifically, the search functionality on the site sucks. It is so time-consuming to discover campaigns of interest. Luckily for you, TechUrElders (t.u.e) took the time and scoured Kickstarter for any hot new caregiver/aging in place technology! Sadly there is not many (because the tech industry thinks younger demos are the more valuable customer) No worries t.u.e is also working on changing that! Anywho, cheers to the chosen few listed below.
