Swansea, United Kingdom

In Britain, we have an ageing population which means, there are more old people than young in the UK. This is because, on average, people are living longer and having fewer children. Counties in the South West of England are some of the oldest in the UK. Therefore, the older generation is a huge market for consumables and they have a lot more influence over technology than you may think.

Engineers across the globe are designing products to improve the day to day life of the elderly and the disabled. Many products which are popular across generations, such as the Amazon Echo, have huge benefits when it comes to elderly accessibility. This article will discuss some of the key areas where technology is advancing to improve the lives of the elderly.

Stairlifts

Stairlifts is an obvious one. As we get older, day-to-day activities, such as climbing the stairs, can become a big challenge. It is not uncommon for people to decide to move house once they reach a certain age to avoid the inconvenience of stairs. Or they may decide to move their main living areas, including their bedroom, to the ground floor of their property. However, with the advancing technology of stairlifts, relocating is becoming less necessary. The very first stairlift actually dates back to Henry VII but the first modern stair lift was invented in the 1920s and used rollers. Since then, stairlift technology has come on a long way.
