Technology That Helps You Stay Independent
Thursday, Sept. 24 at 2 PM via Zoom
Instructor: Marc Bandt
Most of us want the same thing as we get older. To stay in our own homes, on our own terms, without becoming a worry to the people we love. This plain-English session looks at how everyday technology can help. We will open the Health app already sitting on your iPhone and see what it can tell you. We will talk about the newer AI tools, including whether it is safe to ask ChatGPT or Claude about your health, and how to judge any tool before you trust it. And how a simple daily check-in can give you and your family peace of mind. No jargon. Bring your questions. Bring your skepticism.
