Lively is a monitoring system of tiny sensors that helps the elderly maintain independence.

The Institute for the Ages, a Sarasota nonprofit, played a key role in Lively’s creation, connecting the San Francisco-based company with residents who provided feedback to improve its product. They included Bill Tavolga, a 91-year-old self-described tech geek who helped Lively’s developers find bugs in the system.” Read more here.
