Holiday gift shopping is already happening and “Black Fridays” aren’t limited to the day after Thanksgiving! One of the big issues for most people is what to buy special people on their list. Whether it’s their parents, their grandparents, aunts + uncles, or someone who isn’t very tech-oriented and who wants a tablet that doesn’t require a lot of effort setting it up but has lots of options to it. Here’s a great gift that would be appropriate for anyone who wants an easy-to-use tablet that does a lot: GrandPad!
1.WiFi, home internet, or data.
In 2019, only 7% of adults over the age of 65 had access to the internet, while access to WiFi connectivity varies greatly among residents in nursing homes and assisted living. Look for devices, like GrandPad, that come with built-in cellular connectivity and free data service.
2. Vision loss.
The average adult begins to naturally experience vision loss between the ages of 41 and 60. Meanwhile, 23% of adults experience vision loss due to a pre-existing health condition. Look for devices that have larger screens, high-contrast buttons and text, and large, easy-to-read icons and navigation.
3. Hearing Loss
Approximately one-in-three adults between the ages of 65 to 74 experience age-related hearing loss or presbycusis. Standard technology that has a single speaker at the bottom or top of the device will likely not be loud or crisp enough for someone with hearing loss. The GrandPad tablet addresses this with two, loud, front-facing speakers, and by testing all notification sounds to ensure they can clearly be heard and understood by people with hearing loss.
4. Dexterity challenges.
Arthritis makes it difficult for many people to use mobile devices that come with small plugs or connectors and small buttons. In addition, as adults age, their skin can become dry and papery, making it difficult to use touchscreen technology (screens respond to the moisture on the figure tip when you tap it). Look for devices with hands-free, wireless charging, a no-slip protective case, few if any small parts or connectors, and that are light weight. GrandPad helps overcome dexterity issues with a specially engineered screen that responds to aging skin; a hands-free cradle that wirelessly charges the device and keeps it positioned at an angle that is easy to read and navigate; a magnetic flap case that opens easily and quickly; large icons with an expanded “hit” area to make navigation easier; and “anti-double tap technology” to prevent users from inadvertently double tapping on an unwanted action or command.
5. Cognitive impairment.
Changes in cognition can influence how an individual interacts with technology; however that does not mean they can’t use technology. Some studies have shown that regular use of technology can improve test results related to short-term memory, processing speed, and other functions.
Look for a device that offers games and activities that can improve memory, that elicit joy and nostalgia (such as music), and that can help reduce anxiety. GrandPad, which has been adopted by clinical care providers and companion care companies across the United States, supports social and mental stimulation through daily social interaction, personalized memory games, puzzles, music, and more.
6. Connect Anytime, Anywhere
