Five more Health and Aging Tech offerings from CES 2025

CES 2025 is wrapping up soon -- here's another look. 

As always, it is an opportunity to contemplate the state of tech innovation, wading figuratively past announcements of cars and TVs. Browsing through the many articles and news websites, looking for what could benefit older adults in the context of making lives easier, more sociable, more functional and empowered, these five are attention-worthy.  All material is from their announcements and/or websites.  As with previous CES 2025 blog posts, it is important to note that offerings may be concepts, not yet products, and that some may not enter the commercial or US market at all. The important aspect is that the underlying technologies are a step (or more) forward in possibilities to help older adults.  Here's hoping that next year has even more to consider.
