QuietCare Product Intro

The input in Telecare Aware and Mobihealthnews on the issues raised by Laurie Orlov's blog and the articles all point directly to a primary reason caregiving technology has come to the plate before and struck out. This issue doesn't even have anything to do with technology. It is all about coming into a marketplace thinking we are smart enough to know our customers because we knew an old person once.

I hope all of the companies that are developing all this great gear will get connected to the geriatric managers, social workers, and others with in-depth knowledge about the point of view, needs, and wishes of the elderly and their caregiving families. If we don't get smarter quicker we might just find ourselves missing the ball again.
