Beyond emergency alerts, assistive technology plays a vital role in physical health and safety. Sensor-based devices like "B Presence" can monitor if a senior is home, sleeping well, or has gone out—providing valuable insights to caregivers.

These programs aim to help seniors confidently navigate the online world, ensuring they are not left behind in an increasingly digital society.
