Technology for seniors: Discover help to independence on April 11th!

On April 4, 2025, the district senior advisory board (KSB) of the Bergstrasse district is actively in the preparations for a public general meeting, which will take place on April 11, 2025 at 10 a.m. in the Bergstrasse meeting room of the new district office in Heppenheim. The meeting offers a platform to represent the interests of older citizens, which is a central concern of the KSB. The advisory board acts independently, party -political neutral and denominational, which makes it an important voice for the older people in the region. The KSB made this clear on its website where it announced the agenda for the meeting.

An essential part of the agenda are reports from different regions and working groups. In addition, the technology case that the nursing base of the Bergstrasse district has received from the Hessische Hessische Fachstelle for Wohnberatung (HfW) has been presented. This innovative project was financed by the Hessian Digital Ministry and aims to provide a technical aid case in each district to improve advice for older and needy people. The employees of the nursing base will present the technical aids in the meeting and are available to those present for questions.

technical aids to support older people

The technology case contains a variety of technical aids that aim to promote the independence and quality of life of older people. As explained in Seniorenmagazin , the selection of technologies that facilitate the everyday life of seniors is growing. The most helpful devices include:

• smartphones with senior optimization: These have larger buttons, simplified menus and emergency functions.
• Medical surveillance devices: These help with continuous monitoring of important health parameters such as blood pressure and blood sugar.
• emergency call systems and alarm buttons: You offer a quick way to call help in an emergency.
• Electronic memory supports: These support in organizing tasks, appointments and medication memories.
• Language -controlled assistants: These offer easy control of household appliances.
• Intelligent security systems: You ensure comprehensive protection of your own home.

The variety of technical aids is impressive and significantly increases the quality of life and the safety of seniors. It is important to take into account the individual needs and skills of the users.

All interested parties are cordially invited to take part in the public meeting of the KSB. By exchanging experiences and information, not only the concerns of the older generation can be better understood, but the quality of support in everyday life can also be improved. The district senior advisory board thus offers an important platform for seniors in the Bergstrasse district to lead an active and self -determined life.
