The use of technology is not the exclusive preserve of young people because seniors are now showing interest in it. The reason for this is not farfetched due to the countless advantages it has. Understandably, it is not every elder who knows how to use a smartphone, oftentimes; they are put through by their children. No matter the divide you belong, there are important and helpful apps that must be present in the device of all elders. These apps will ease many of the tasks they do especially when the children are not around to assist them.
EyeReader
A major difficulty that seniors face is reading. As they advance in age, vision changes and the eyes become less effective compared to when they were young. The EyeReader App makes it possible to read despite their age. The app converts an iPhone into a glass with light that you can zoom.
Pillboxie
For seniors who are always alone at home, this is the perfect app to remind you to take your drugs. Of course, adults will always be forgiven if they forget to take their drugs. But the effect of this may be dire. It is easy to use because it allows you to effectively manage your meds.
