“Age tech” is a growing field, and it is important to distinguish it from “health tech.”

What is Age Tech ?

Age tech, or aging technology, focuses on developing technological solutions specifically designed to address the needs and challenges associated with aging.

Its main objective is to improve the quality of life of the elderly by promoting 

Autonomy 

Enabling seniors to remain independent for longer.

Health

Monitor and support physical and mental health.

Well-being

Improve comfort, safety and social connection.

Main differences with Health Tech

Although age tech and health tech share common health-related goals, there are important distinctions.

Target audience  :

Health tech is aimed at a broad audience, covering all ages and health conditions.

Age tech focuses specifically on older adults and their unique needs.

Specific objectives  :

Health tech often targets the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases.

Age tech focuses on prevention, maintaining autonomy and improving the quality of life related to aging.

Approach  :

Health tech can involve complex medical technologies and clinical interventions.

Age tech favors user-friendly solutions, adapted to the abilities and preferences of older people.

Examples of Age Tech technologies

Connected objects  : Smart watches, motion sensors, health tracking devices.

Software and applications  : Cognitive exercises, communication with loved ones, medication reminders.

Robotics  : Personal assistants, companion robots, mobility aids.

Telemedicine  : Remote consultations, home monitoring, management of chronic diseases.

Smart homes  : Automatic lighting, fall detection, security systems.

In short, age tech is a specialized branch of health tech, focused on the unique needs of older adults. Its development promises to have a significant impact on the way we age, allowing us to live longer, healthier, and more independently.

Yes Anthony is obsessed with Kate to an alarming degree but consider this from his perspective, the hottest woman he knows not only loves him back, and agreed to marry him but she also cured his insomnia

So it’s completely understandable that he’s decided to dedicate the rest of his life to worshipping the ground she walks on

When I start to get a lil crazy about characters and aus/hcs, I like to imagine them doing real person things to bring me back to earth. Kevin getting an eyelash in his eye. Andrew almost tripping up over a step but saving it. Neil accidentally stubbing his toe or walking into the corner of a table. Aaron buttoning his shirt wrong and having to start all over again. Jean pushing a pull door. Jeremy making a doctors appointment. Make them human.

Like yes they can fuck nasty and get themselves into situations but they can also screenshot things on their phone. They can reverse park and carry a basket in a grocery store.

takiishi chika is not a simple man.

he’s hard to figure out. you can’t read him, hardly anybody can, and it makes it difficult to find things you share interest in. the first one is obvious— each other. otherwise, you wouldn’t be sitting across from him every morning, sharing his space. especially not over coffee.

every morning, without fail, a piping hot cup of black coffee will bring him from an impending threat to society, to whatever one peg lower than that is.

you don’t speak much in the morning, but he allows— or maybe enjoys— you to sit across from him with your coffee and breakfast. it’s peaceful, and quiet, if you’re comfortable being stared at. 

he watches curiously as you dip a thumbprint cookie into your cup and take a bite, washing it down afterwards. when you pull the mug back down, your eyes meet his inquisitive ones. tilting your head at him, you glance down to the other half of your cookie, placing it on a napkin and sliding it over to him with a soft smile. he stares at it, hesitating, before he mimics you. 

he blinks as he chews, and glances at you a few times, not used to being the one stared at. you avert your gaze so he feels like he has some room to breathe, and when you glance back up at him, he’s licking his lips. his expression doesn’t change, but you’re quite certain you know him well enough to gather that he liked it. 

your assumption is confirmed the next time you drag him along with you to the grocery store, when he disappears for five minutes only to return with a box of the cookies in his hand. and when you ask him a few weeks later what he wants from the grocery store, they’re the first item on his list. they run out so much faster when he’s grabbing one alongside you every morning, but you don’t mind.

not when suddenly, the two of you have another thing in common.
