The main goal of this workshop is to introduce older adults to the Internet of Things (IoT) and demonstrate how it can support their independence in various aspects of life, including medical, social, environmental, and security management. The workshop will provide an overview of IoT, hands-on experience with selected devices, and problem-solving sessions to address common concerns related to the use of technology.

 

Made possible with funding by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs and the Greenfield Senior Center.
