COVID-19 Pandemic Driving Adoption
The senior-friendly GrandPad solution, which was introduced in 2014, became a lifeline for families when the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions prevented caregivers — both family and professional — from seeing elderly loved ones in person. Adoption of GrandPad by seniors and families has increased steadily, and according to Scott Lien, co-founder and CEO, the availability of GrandPad on Amazon will ensure that this life-changing technology is available to the 300 million active Amazon shoppers.
