CONNECTIONS™ Summit at CES® to features session on independent living with speakers from Alarm.com, Centrica Hive, Medical Guardian, MobileHelp, and Uber Health

Parks Associates research shows that 50% of consumers ages 50 and older in U.S. broadband households are very interested in an emergency panic button service or home emergency system. The international research firm will address how solutions that improve quality of life for seniors are expanding market opportunities for independent living solutions at the 13th-annual CONNECTIONS™ Summit: IoT and the Smart Home on January 8 at CES® 2019 in Las Vegas, which concludes with a networking reception, sponsored by Homematic IP.

CONNECTIONS™ Summit features multiple sessions examining mass-market business strategies, partnership opportunities, the impact of voice on the user experience, and advances in AI and data analytics. CONNECTIONS™ Summit sponsors include Alarm.com, Asurion, Cirrent, F-Secure, Homematic IP, Hive Home, Inspire, Minim, ROC-Connect, and Trusource Labs.

“Consumers 50 and older show strong interest in connected services that can support daily living needs that become more difficult with age,” said Jennifer Kent, Director, Research Quality & Product Development, Parks Associates. “New solutions, like the Uber Health initiative, can tap into this demand and growing interest in connected services for health-related purposes, and we will see many more examples of connected health solutions at CES 2019. In the independent living session at CONNECTIONS™ Summit, we will discuss the latest innovations and trends that extend and improve the independent living experience.”
