It can provide a safer environment, help maintain independence, and provide peace of mind for loved ones.\n\nOn this episode of Friends Life Care VigR\u00ae, Akshita Iyer, who is the CEO and founder of @omekitchen, a technology company that built the world\u2019s first Smart Stove Knob to make cooking safer, easier, and more enjoyable, joins me to discuss this increasingly hot topic. \n\nDrawing from her experience in user behavior, cognitive psychology, and technology integration, Akshita is passionate about making technology less \u201ctechie,\u201d particularly for older adults. With Ome, she has been building intuitive smart kitchen products that create a safer cooking environment for older adults \u2014 allowing them to maintain their independence and enjoy the health benefits of home-cooked meals, while providing peace of mind to their families and caregivers.\n\nHer inspiration for reinventing the kitchen began when her mom left the stove on one too many times and started a kitchen fire. On a mission to develop a solution, Akshita assembled a team, appeared on Shark Tank, raised $3M in venture capital, and launched the Ome Smart Knob \u2014 the only smart device that can retrofit to your existing stove in minutes so you can monitor and control your burners from anywhere, anytime.\n\nAkshita is passionate about the ways technology can improve people\u2019s lives. Through Ome, she is helping to transform the way we cook and live in our homes \u2014 one kitchen at a time.\n\n00:00 \u2013 Intro\n00:52 - Guest Introduction\n03:11 - Journey to Starting Ome\n05:26 - Benefits of Ome in the Home\n09:36 - Technology Supporting Aging at Home\n13:36 - Kitchen Safety Technologies\n16:01 - Advertisement: Friends Life Care Membership\n16:36 - Considerations for Buying Assistive Smart Home Tech\n20:26 - Benefits for Family or Caregivers\n21:48 - Shark Tank Experience\n25:14 - Conclusion and Thank You\n\nResources:\nhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/akshitaiyer\/\nhttps:\/\/www.omekitchen.com\/\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/omeforhome\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/omeforhome\/\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC013avoauMtwhTbbf6x15gg\nhttps:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ome.kitchen\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/omeforhome\n\n#honestlyaging #friendslifecare #soloagers #soloaging #aging #olderadults #vitality #independence #growth #resilience #stories #advice #advocate #podcast #technologyforseniors #aginginplace #elderlycare #smarthome #assistivetechnology #seniorliving #independentliving #peaceofmind #friendslifecare #familycaregiving #smartdevices #innovativetech #healthtech #agetech #friendslifecare #elderlysafety #homesafety #seniorcare #smartstove #ometech #honestlyaging #friendslifecare #vigr #akshitaiyer #ceointerview #techinnovation #sharktank #sharktankproducts\n\n(C) 2024 Friends Life Care.

They save lots of room. Place often-used items on lower shelves. Keep less-needed things higher up or in the drawers. This way, everything has a spot and the floor stays clear.Choose furniture with built-in storage. Think about beds with deep drawers or closets with extra racks inside. This helps keep clothes and personal items organized without taking up more space.It’s all about smart choices to make caregiving easier and safer.Implementing Technology for Ease and EfficiencyAdding tech makes life easier in a caregiver’s bedroom. Think smart bulbs for better light and voice-activated helpers for quick tasks.Smart Lighting Systems for Adjustable IlluminationSmart lighting systems change how caregivers work, especially at night.

This means rooms can be brighter during care activities and softer to keep patients comfortable later.With touch-activated lamps and motion sensors, safety goes up because the path is always lit without touching a switch.Smart lighting takes care out of the dark – into safety and comfort.Multiple windows in a room also help by adding more natural light during the day.

Caregivers find these smart adjustments helpful for staying alert while keeping their charges safe and peaceful.Installation of Voice-Controlled DevicesPutting in voice-activated gadgets helps a lot. Caregivers can turn on lights or set alarms without touching anything. Just by speaking, they control devices. This means more safety and ease for them, especially at night.Also, having an easy-to-use phone with big buttons next to the bed is smart. It makes calling for help simple if needed. These tech tools make every day smoother for those taking care of others in health care places like dementia care homes.Making a caregiver’s bedroom work better is sure. Start with an adjustable bed and smart storage for more space. Add smart lights and voice devices for easy control. These steps make the room safe, comfy, and handy for both rest and care needs.Caregivers can then do their best job without stress.Related Questions1.
