smart home devices

voice assistants handle timers, reminders, and hands-free calls. smart plugs and lights automate routines and make home safer.

tech doesn’t replace people — it strengthens independence by reducing stress

accessibility tech

built-in features like voice-to-text, screen readers, and magnifiers let participants manage devices independently. transportation apps open the door to the community.

safety + reminders

smart watches with fall detection, medication reminders, and location-sharing give peace of mind while keeping independence front and center.
