My Health Technology for Seniors: Take Charge of Your Health Through Technology 1st Edition

Because I am fairly computer literate, much of this book was elementary for me. I did find much to help me in some of the sites. When I ordered the book, I was fine; shortly thereafter I experienced a heath problem that put me out of commission. At that time the book arrived and since I was looking for something to keep me occupied as I recuperated, it served its purpose. I found a chapter that led me to some sites that I did not know existed and wound up getting and app for free that allows me to take my blood pressure, pulse rate, and many other health-related tests that were quite beneficial to me at that time. Since them, I have explored further and found all kinds of help. All Seniors should have this book.

My Health Technology for Seniors is a how to book for seniors to get acquainted with their devices and enter the 21st century. This book starts by introducing you to the smartphone and android devices. From there is explains health apps for the device, Google search, and web based solutions. I found it interesting that the book suggests using these apps for health, but then cautions that when you Google things or use Facebook for these apps, you are subject to the whole world knowing about your searches. I don't have a Facebook account for that very reason, therefore I will not be using any of the Apps suggested in this book. I am returning it unused.

Initial cursory scan reveals some essential health issues adequately discussed, but layout -- especially choice of subjects -- not the focus on everyday senior maladies I expected some simple home remedies for. I hope to know more as I continue reading, and will provide additional critique when finished.

Good for what it was bought.

Decided it wasn't for me; returned it.

This book was too much on technology equipment that you need to purchase. A waste of my investment. I was expecting more understanding of the use of technology instead of what technology to buy.

All the advice and detail you need
