Technology

After completing the first week of my 30-day AI-assisted wellness experiment I stepped on the scale. I was delighted! Guess what I'm doing seems to be working - but will it (or me) last the 30 days? 

Looking back over these seven days, I've successfully navigated restaurants, social events, fatigue-induced cravings, and built what feels like a sustainable routine. But I'm also realizing that I have a reward system that needs some rewiring.

Things are going along well but on day 6 I experienced an unexpected challenge. After I ate my dinner I still felt hungry and found myself fighting intense cravings, especially for sugar and bread. What's that all about?

As I wrap up day 5, I've been feeling quite full so far and I had a nagging question that challenged one of my fundamental beliefs about weight loss. Could I lose weight without feeling hungry?

By Day 4 of my AI Wellness Experiment I'm starting to feel like I'm getting into a routine. But one thing is still on my mind - how will I feel if I don't actually lose any weight?

On Day 3 everything seems to be going well so far but I have a bigger test approaching: a wine and cheese event. While the smaller gatherings with close friends felt manageable, this larger event presents a different kind of challenge for me.

It's only been two days in my AI Wellness Experiment and I found myself feeling fatigued. Was this normal? I asked my AI wellness coach for advice.

Like it or not, digital literacy is no longer a luxury. Like reading and writing, it has become a necessity - especially for older people.

Do you know what social rewilding is? It's a trending movement of people wishing to rebalance their relationship with technology and reconnect with both nature and each other. Is this for you?

Day 1 of my 30 Day AI wellness experiment was pretty uneventful except for the one thing I dreaded the most. Facing my reality on scale.

At 61, I was facing the uncomfortable truth: my health was sliding into the "not great" category. But my motivation to get healthier was different this time along with my fascination with AI. Could combining these two things be a winning wellness combination?

With the advent of AI, many of us may become winners of the “time lottery.” AI could give us more free time in our days and more healthy years in our lives. But are we really ready for this?

AI has the promise of bringing the past back to life. But how real is it and more importantly how does it make you feel?

Wanting to age in place, older people often turn to their loved ones. Being a caregiver is challenging enough but many are seeing technology support now added to their responsibilities.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within robots is on rise but is this a good or bad thing for humanity? Wendy Reichental explores this further.

"Personal Assistants" can understand people's spoken queries and respond in an easy-to-understand, human-like conversational manner. But can this technology help improve an older person's life?

Scammers are out there and if you believe you won't fall for them you may be surprised. But there is some good news. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to help protect us. Scammers - meet Daisy.

The internet and social media. There is nothing else in this world that can bring people together so quickly, get them whipped up into a frenzy to then often discover that what was shared wasn’t in fact true.

For older people striving to interact more with younger people, there is reason to feel optimistic. Although those in later life often are apprehensive at how fast things are changing, technological advancements will make it easier for them to pursue their intergenerational social relationships. 

During the pandemic, older people could consult with their doctors and clinics in the comfort of their homes. Was this just a blip or is it a service that will be continued?

Virtual reality is showing some promise in supporting older people to feel more positive and less isolated. But could this also lead us down a slippery slope?

When we think of social media and potential overuse or addiction, we often think it’s a younger person’s problem. But some research has proved otherwise.

Are you concerned about your online privacy? The answer is more than likely yes.

This is not out of a science fiction novel – it’s actually something people are working on today. The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is exploring ways to immortalize our memories.

Chances are you would generalize that younger people would have the biggest challenge disconnecting from their devices. But older people are quickly closing in along with some other habits too.
