Over half of baby boomers will turn 50 this year, and many are looking for hightech gadgets to make their lives easier. From motion sensor monitoring devices to hearing aid remote control watches, there's something for everyone. Alexis Abramson, a lifestyle gerontologist, was invited on "Today" to share the latest gadgets for baby boomers.
QuietCare Motion Detector/Monitor
The system utilizes small, unobtrusive, strategically placed wireless sensors to monitor the senior in their own home. Motion sensors can be placed in the senior's bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and medication areas. Each sensor transmits information 24 hours a day. The base station gathers this information and regularly transmits it over the Internet to a QuietCare client's personal computer. Caregivers can also be alerted to problems by call center professionals or via email, cell phone, text message or pager, or by checking a password protected Web site. Pricing varies according to geographic region; available at www.quietcare.com
