From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deprolabs.com\/blog\/do-we-need-voice-assistant-devices-the-pros-and-cons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vacuuming to turning the lights on and off<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2FsWb42\">controlling the temperature<\/a> in each room of your home\u2014smart devices automate time-consuming actions so you don\u2019t have to worry about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While saving time is valuable, the benefits of smart devices go far beyond efficiency. Seniors who experience health issues, have physical barriers or need extra security can rely on smart devices to make their lives easier. For example, a senior may be living independently but not have the physical abilities to protect themselves against intruders or strangers. They could install a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2FHCRiF\">doorbell camera<\/a> to monitor every person who comes to their door. As a more common example, seniors may enjoy living with many plants in their home but don\u2019t have the endless energy to walk around the whole house, watering each one individually. A smart, self-sufficient plant watering device like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getgoldoon.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goldoon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can take care of this task through automation, enabling seniors to enjoy the benefits of living with plants without having to frequently care for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Improving Seniors Health With Smart Devices<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing tasks is beneficial to seniors, but smart devices also have major health and wellness advantages. Technology has been helping seniors <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">track<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> health-related metrics like <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2FH48Sn\">weight<\/a>, blood sugar,<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2DkcV7B\"> blood pressure<\/a>, and more for many years\u2014but smart devices strive to help seniors <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improve<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider this: many seniors experience physical and mental health issues that impair their ability to eat and drink regularly. Nutrition is incredibly important for seniors, so how can smart technology be a key component in improving their environment and encouraging them to eat? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and other senior facilities are often operating on limited resources. Smart devices are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deprolabs.com\/blog\/iot-devices-can-they-help-businesses-reduce-their-fixed-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cost-effective and labor-efficient<\/a> way to give seniors a higher quality place to live, enabling a better living experience and chance that they\u2019ll live <a href=\"https:\/\/vitamed.ca\/\">healthy lives<\/a>. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/kitchener-waterloo\/can-plants-in-dining-area-improve-seniors-eating-habits-1.3970535\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Katie Shlemkevich<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a graduate student at the University of Guelph, has a theory that nature, plants, and greenery have an impact on seniors and their ability to eat. She notes that during her time working in long-term care for seniors, many residents expressed that facilities feel institutional and cold, and don\u2019t offer a sense of \u201chome\u201d, which impacts eating habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the most resource-limited senior care facilities can maintain plants in their dining space with the help of a smart device. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deprolabs.com\/blog\/make-your-home-place-smarter-with-goldoon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plant watering device<\/a> like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getgoldoon.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goldoon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enables workers to leave plants unattended for weeks, even month at a time, with the device monitoring soil dryness and providing water as it sees fit. In addition, studies show that businesses experience up to an 80% cost reduction using smart devices to facilitate tasks like plant watering, making it possible to maintain a positive environment for seniors without breaking the bank. This goes for long-term care facilities, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Adopting Goldoon Technology to Drive Efficiency and Enable a Better Living Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The smart self-watering planter Goldoon is designed to save time, money, and most importantly, ensure seniors and others can enjoy plants without having to worry about consistent care.
