PD EDU: Technology for Seniors
Virtual Program - Saturday, November 16th from 11am-Noon
Presented by
Chris Gaffney, Executive Director, Parkinson Support & Wellness
Adapting to personal technology can significantly enhance the lives of seniors by fostering independence, improving communication, and providing access to vital resources. Embracing tools like smartphones, tablets, and health-monitoring devices allows seniors to stay connected with family and friends, reducing feelings of isolation. Additionally, technology offers a wealth of information and services at their fingertips, from online banking to telehealth appointments, making everyday tasks more manageable. By learning to navigate these technologies, seniors not only gain confidence but also open new avenues for social engagement and lifelong learning, ultimately enriching their quality of life. Learn some practical approaches to increase your use and comfort in using technology.
