Three Brand New Tech Tools Making Everyday Life Easier for Seniors—August 2025

It’s always exciting when technology really does make life simpler—especially for those of us looking for solutions that are practical, safe, and easy to use at home. Here’s a look at some of the most interesting tech innovations released just this past week. Each is tailored to help older adults stay independent, healthy, and organized—without needing a tech manual or a computer science degree!

1. Remember Names and Conversations With Smart Glasses

Forgetfulness can be frustrating, whether it’s someone’s name at a party or a detail from yesterday’s conversation. That’s why the brand-new Halo Smart Glasses from Brilliant Labs caught my eye. These glasses feature a tiny screen and use gentle sound technology, but the real magic is a built-in “memory helper” named Noa that remembers names and important conversations for you. It’s discreet, stylish, and could become a friendly safety net for keeping social connections strong.

2. Speakaboo: The Pill Bottle Reader App

If taking medicine is part of your routine, the new Speakaboo app makes it much easier. Just point your phone at a prescription bottle, and Speakaboo instantly reads out the label so you know exactly what you’re taking—no more guessing or squinting at tiny print. The best part? It works offline and doesn’t need any special “smart” bottles. Privacy, independence, and peace of mind, all in one app.

3. Brava Infrared Oven: A Safer Way to Cook

Cooking at home should be safe, simple, and even a little fun. The new Brava Oven does away with old-fashioned coils and burners. Instead, it uses light to cook your meals evenly and quickly. The touchscreen makes it easy to operate—no preheating or complicated dials. For anyone concerned about burning themselves or overcooking dinner, Brava’s design offers both safety and convenience.
