“Aging in place,” allowing the elderly to remain in their homes even after they require caregivers, could well reduce the cost of living at home, compared to care in an assisted-living situation.
At least according to one study, mobile, peer-to-peer and other apps can allow the elderly to remain in their homes, saving more than half the amount required to live in an assisted living home.
That speaks to the value of mobile and internet apps, if not directly to the business opportunities available to connectivity suppliers.
