Laura Mitchell, VP Business Development, GrandCare Systems“The number of elderly people in the United States is rising at a rapid rate courtesy of longer life expectancies and an aging “Baby Boomer” population. Efficient care and assistance for these people is very important, and technology is playing a major role in helping ease some of that burden.” Laura Mitchell, vice president of business development for GrandCare Systems, explains how her company’s systems assist in care-giving efforts and what some of the barriers are in adopting technology to service an aging population.
