The Silver Industry has identified four growth segments; and they are healthcare and wellness, travel and leisure, financial products and services, and assistive technology. New keywords are smart homes, easy laundry machines, auto power-off stoves, and elderly friendly devices.<\/p>\n
Hmm, we are really a part of this picture. Do you know what is assistive technology?<\/p>\n
