I have recently being talking to lots of seniors, and their families, to better understand where there might be opportunities to create new products or services that can improve the quality of life of us all as we age. Some themes emerge. This presentation describes some of those themes extracted from some survey work we have been doing of adults in the 70+ age range in the USA. We are doing lots more of this sort of work, both in face to face interviews and in surveys. Feel free to contact us if you are interested. To learn more about this initiative, read about our new co-creation community at www.techenhancedlife.com
