Nana-Technology

No - that's not a mis-type - we meant Nana-Technology not Nano. So, what is it you ask? The idea that as zoomers age they want products and features that avoid the aging stigma and continue to provide the design aesthetics that they have become so accustomed. Nana-Technology - a phrase coined by Business 2.0 - encompasses products like the ones below that make aging a graceful - yet functional - process.E-Pill's medication dispenser is a gumball-like machine that dispenses the correct dosage of medication at scheduled intervals and will call a caregiver or health professional if the medication is not taken on time.

KDDI launched the InfoBar 2 - an easy to hold device with dedicated keys, larger screen, built in camera, TV tuner and tons of talk time making this phone a great option for someone looking to make their teeny-tiny cell phone more useful.

Nintendo's Brain Age - a video game designed with aging adults in mind - is exercise for the brain. Solve math problems, recite piano songs and test your memory all while having fun!

Audeo offers hearing assistance devices that are so small they almost disappear, but one of the most intriguing options are their wide range of color choices. Choose from colors such as Pinot Noir, Green with Envy, Fiery Temper and Creme Brulee. Who knew that hearing aids could be a fashion accessory!
