Elderly people are vulnerable to health issues. On some occasion, they need to use technologies to monitor their health. therefore, they need to be trained on these technologies.
I believe that elderly people are capable of adapting new technologies. Sometimes, though, this could be a longer process for them since using new technologies could mean a change of life style.
Sure, but I think there should be a special technique or process to train them.
Hi,
The appropriate guidance of experts in the field can do the job. Elderly people who have the diabetes type 2, for instance, have to change their life style completely, and very often they neglect the new duties associated with this situation, and this could be fatal for them, because if the sugar in their body is not balanced, it could cause deterioration in other body parts. Expert guidance could solve this problem.
Hi
Thank you for you recommendation. You are right expert guidance can assist in this issue.
In my experiences with disabled people and elderly individuals, many of them have inhibition towards new devices or new technologies. But I have observed that after hands on training on these devices (which includes multiple trials) they get accustomed to the device.

Good question Majid.
I think yes. However, some factors like the strong willingness to do so can highly affect their ability to use such technologies. The type of training they receive and how often they practice using some required technologies might contribute to that as well.
Thank you Samira
You are right. They can be trained on new technologies. However, a special technique should be used when training them. I have noticed that when I was monitoring an elderly person for almost two months.
