What would senior citizens like to see on the market or a certain product that would benefit them?

So I'm trying to find a product that would appeal to senior citizens and they would be willing to buy it. The company I'm creating would also be internet based so it could be some sort of service as well. Any ideas would be appreciated!

The first things to come to mind are new improved inventions to help
people with mobility problems. Perhaps to invent a powered chair
that isn't as large to enable them to get around in smaller spaces.
Something on the order of an electric scooter that can maneuver
around furniture easily. You wouldn't need a large motor for something that would move more slowly indoors rather than outside. But you
could take it outside as well, if there were good traction tires.
Improved shower and tub handles or bars is anOther needed thing.
Those I've seen are ugly, tho they are necessities for some. I'm now
in the position of needing help to get in and out of showers with
something to hold onto that is longer than those available now. Maybe
you could study what there is on the market, and find ways to im-
prove them for more practibility and attractiveness.

    How about a software firewall that protects their browser from scams like yours?

    A reasonable rate for health insurance. Until I reach 65, I have to purchase private insurance. I pay $1300.00 monthly for my insurance. So you can see that I cannot buy anything that you create as I don't have the money to buy it.

    Most of us have such a huge collection of things we have accumulated over the years we do not want much more. Even clothes last longer as you get older.

    Skin gets dryer as we get older so I do buy more moisture creams and something like avon 'skin so soft' to add to the bath I could be tempted to buy.

    I like nice smells too and so many soaps these days seem to be going the other way and smell of nothing.

    People are often single or there are just two of them so please, sell in small quantities, these huge family packs which last us forever and go off are a waste of money. We do not want buy one get one free or worse buy three for the price of two. Just a good sensible price for the one item.

    We do not like to been seen shopping for old fashioned warm underwear either.

    The only service I can think of would have to be local, organizing trips visits and lunches which are only for certain age groups might be a nice idea. We do not always want to join in with family groups and have children with us.

    I want a cell phone with a large display that I can read and buttons big enough that I can use them. I need a volume control. I need a light to tell me when I have access to a signal, not a dim dark grey on light grey tiny little clothes post. I need a LED flashlight on it so I can light up area when I drop something or need to unlock a door. I don't need the Internet, or to update my facebook, or to take pictures, or a stopwatch. I don't know if it would sell, though.

    Print that is large enough to read without a magnifying glass!! When you're in the store and want to buy something the print is so small you can't even see the ingredients…so back on the shelf!!!

    Don’t let your bones waste away just because you are getting older. Men and women alike need excellent bone health. Osteoporosis can be debilitating.

    As a caregiver for my 87 year old mother, I have recently found a product that naturally addresses Osteoporosis and arthritis. In one year, she has increased her bone density without prescription drugs. This product is all natural and has had an amazing impact on her overall health.

    If you are suffering from Osteoporosis and want more information please e-mail me. The information that I have is so valuable.

Got something to say?
