Creating the world we all aspire to retire in.
The idea for Seniors in Tech started when I taught my mom how to use a messaging app. At first, it felt like teaching an unfamiliar and overwhelming language.
But once she got it, she felt empowered and even showed her friend how to use it. Together, they created a chat group to stay connected.
From there, I began helping more seniors. I kept seeing the same pattern: a deep fear of entering a digital world not built for them, and an equally deep desire to stay connected.
That’s why I started Seniors in Tech (SIT) — to make technology feel simple, safe, and welcoming for older adults.
What do we do?
We design simple, thoughtful tablet, desktop and phone applications specifically made for older adults. Applications that are clear, calming, and made with their needs in mind. Because no one should feel left out of the digital age. Especially not our parents and grandparents.
Why it matters?
Digital exclusion is becoming a global equity issue.
If we don’t act now, millions of older adults will continue to be left behind.
1 in 5 people today is over 60
That’s more than 1.1 billion older adults worldwide. A number expected to double to 2.1 billion by 2050.
75% of older adults say they need help with new tech
But most apps and websites are not designed with their needs in mind, from small text to confusing interfaces
Only 17% of digital products prioritize accessibility
And even fewer consider aging-specific needs like cognitive load, motor control, or hearing.
