Theoretically, it's quite simple: new technologies can be so helpful and supportive in the everyday life of older people that they can live independently for a very long time without constant help from relatives or nursing staff in their own four walls - even if physical or mental Impairments would otherwise make this difficult.
In practice, however, the situation is often different: The problem lies in the gap between the products and those who are supposed to use them: Does a 30-year-old software developer understand the needs of an old person? Does a Best Ager know what help is available, where it can be purchased and how it works?
With the opening of the center for age-assistive technologies in Haus Esther, the gap between technology and users is now being closed.
Opening video
