Many seniors want to remain living at home and maintain their independence. This live webinar will focus on technologies and tools to promote aging at home. 

There are many technologies to help seniors wishing to maintain their independence living in their own homes, including phones, virtual care, smart home devices, and emergency response.  In addition, physiotherapists can also recommend fitness trackers to help them maintain their activity and independence.
