The use of touch screen technology is slowly growing in the healthcare industry. One area where it’s being used more and more often is with touch screens for eldercare facilities. This article will discuss some of the latest trends in this type of technology, as well as how to choose a table that best suits your needs.
Though technology may not cure mental decline, the evidence suggests that it is crucial in preventing its onset. Elderly residents need technology to be able to stay engaged in their world and this is one way to do it.
Computers have a lot of benefits for elderly people from brain training apps to keep fit sessions and sing-alongs, but they often come with too many buttons that are hard to read or understand. Touchscreen tables negate this issue and have many more benefits too.
This article answers 4 common questions care homes have when considering a touch screen tablet.
