Raleigh Company Behind New Technology Designed to Help Seniors Live Fuller Lives

Raleigh, N.C.-based company K4Connect develops technology to expand seniors' lives, reports WTVD . K4Connect's user-friendly application is employed at more than 800 senior living communities throughout the United States. The app allows users to access dinner menus, lunch menus, residents, services, events, and other resources on their phone. Senior living community residents can also use it and their voice to operate Amazon Alexa and connect to a Garmin smartwatch that monitors things like blood pressure, heart rate, and exercise. Furthermore, community staff can use the app to monitor residents round-the-clock. "With the motion sensors in each apartment, we're able to see if there has been motion from our residents," said The Reserve at Mills Farm Marketing Director Kim Dahl. K4Connect CEO Scott Moody said his company aims to make seniors' lives simpler, healthier, and more pleasant, "and when you do those things, when they provide real value, first order value to that older adult, then they use it."
