Aging in Place Technology is technology that allows the elderly to live in one’s own home safely and independently regardless of age and ability level. These technologies include health monitors, daily activity monitors, medication alert and dispense systems, GPS location trackers, and personal emergency response systems (PERS). Ethical implications of these technologies include privacy of user, accessing sensitive healthcare information online remotely, and ability to change healthcare/medication alerts by non-healthcare professionals without user’s knowledge.
