Researchers around the world are searching for ways to help seniors remain healthier and live independently in their homes for longer. Intel is working on new sensing devices that can feed data to a central hub that infers whether a person is getting enough sleep, taking their meds on time and feeding themselves properly. The technology relies on improved broadband access. The Obama Administration just announced it’s spending $5 Billion over the next five years to extend broadband to 98% of Americans.

Nice seeing how technology is expanding into areas of social responsibility.
Also, I have gotta give Obama, that his administration has been quite productive, when it comes to securing business in the world of new technology.
The in-home telehealth care future is “now”, with seniors well-being monitoring systems like http://www.sonamba.com . This systems is cellular-based, therefore it does not require broadband in the home. It provides a solution for families who want more than just being able to press a button to call for help. Sonamba provides passive monitoring for inactivity in the home due to falls, heart attacks, etc, medication and activity of daily living reminders, and an innovative messaging system.
