From the app to smartphones: the hi tech for seniors

Who is more advanced in years often uses little new technology, but goes straight to the point, highlighting flaws and the pretentiousness of Some gadgets, functions and interfaces. Here are some tips

The elderly, as late users of new technologies, they are often enthusiastic supporters. Because not only have specific needs but, unlike the digital natives, they have a very clear idea of ​​what they want. They cut to the chase, also highlighting the flaws and the pretentiousness of some gadgets, functions and interfaces.

We take mobile phones. As useful and fun are smartphones, too often lack basic characteristics: strength, sound loud and clear in phone calls, ease of use and immediacy to call a number. Not surprisingly there is a range of phones from time to test grandparents: big buttons and backlit, large screens, buttons emergency numbers stored and easily recalled, integrated torches and shells to drop test. We are talking about devices such as those produced by Brondi, in particular the series True Friend (price on 60 euro), which also provides a loud ringing and conversation, function announcement of the number you are calling, as well as the side controls for volume, the torch and the phone lock.

Or as the Compas E04 (about 50 euro), with similar characteristics, such as mobile phones or products from Doro, which also include models of smartphones for people of a certain age. The Doro Liberto 820 mini includes a tutorial and management app pre-installed, can also be downloaded from friends or relatives, who may intervene remotely to provide assistance on the phone, adjusting the settings distance, as volume or brightness.

But there are also app to download on smartphones is not specific, the function of which is to redesign the graphics in order to make visible the numbers and commands. One of these is called Koala Phone Launcher (in free and paid version, for Android): enlarges the icons, the numeric keypad, SOS creates a menu where you can set a number to call in emergency and so on. Idea similar for Big Launcher , always for Android.

Devices apart, there are then software designed especially for the specific needs of a user of a certain age. Remember to take your medication, say. You can set alarms on your smartphone, but there are also apps like Pillboxie (for iPhone and iPad, 0.99 euro) that allow you to program the intake of a drug by dragging a pill in a box, and then alert the user even if the device is not active. And if you do not check the box dell’avvenuta intake, continue notifications.

Similar to Android, it is Pill reminder . Utilities aside, we must not forget that even people of a certain age like to play and have fun. And what better way is there to bring a little grandmother tech use of digital devices than through a crossword app? On various store for iOS and Android, they are found galore. From there you can then move on to Candy Crush or, why not, Angry Birds, that crazy even the very young. Even if your favorite applications from a grandfather in the end are the ones that allow you to communicate with grandchildren, and maybe see also: Facebook, Skype, FaceTime. And do not let them try WhatsApp.
