GrandPad Brings Quality of Life to Super Seniors, Episode 167

The Heart of Hospice Podcast

GrandPad founders Scott and Isaac Lien recognize how important it is to make older senior adults feel confident and stay connected. Scott’s 80-year old mom was easily frustrated by technology, sharing with him that she felt stupid trying to use online video chat and social media sites. The father and son team founded a company and created a device that provides a myriad of ways to support older adults. While the tech might be designed by 20-somethings, the designs of GrandPad are tested and approved by GrandPad’s group of senior advisors.

It’s more than a product. Scott and Isaac foster a culture of empathy at Grandpad. Each staff member at GrandPad is required to have a GrandPad user in their lives, and to stay connected with them. The importance of relationships between different age groups is at the heart of their work.

New features on the GrandPad include multiplayer games, health monitoring, and telehealth partnering with medical providers. One great new feature is the Moods app, which provides calming scenes and music to promote sleep and relaxation.

A GrandPad subscription comes with its own 4G LTE, so the device doesn’t need wifi. Additional features include 24/7, one-on-one support from a live person and a secure network of connections that shields the user from scammers. GrandPad was born from the idea that older adults need to stay safely connected with loved ones. The device has security and privacy features that don't come with other devices.
