Empowering Senior Citizens through Tech Education

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, at all ages including older citizens through education and training is a fundamental human right.

But in order for these goals to be achieved, we have to study most of the deficiencies to design new accessories that enable elderly citizens to communicate. We have many modern senior citizens communicating, sending messages, and using computers only blinking.
