Thanks for joining this friendly overview of simple tools that make computers, tablets, and phones easier on your hands, wrists, eyes, and energy. We explored practical, low-tech ways to reduce strain and increase comfort so technology works for you, not the other way around.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Make Your Devices Fit You

Notice where tech feels tiring (typing, clicking, reading). Pick one challenge and try a matching aid, such as a split/tilted ergonomic keyboard to keep wrists neutral and reduce pain.

Reduce Strain with Better Input

Swap a standard mouse for a trackball (move the ball, not your arm) or a vertical/ergonomic mouse (handshake position) to ease wrist and shoulder pressure during longer sessions.

Let Your Voice Do the Work

Use built-in voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa) and dictation for messages, reminders, searches, and notes, great when fingers are sore or accuracy is tough.

Small Tools, Big Help

Try a touchscreen stylus for precise taps and swipes. Consider large-print/high-contrast keyboards or key guards to cut down on typos and accidental presses, especially with tremors or low vision.

Shop Smart and Get Support

Test devices in-store when possible; lean on generous return policies online. Ask your doctor or an occupational therapist for guidance, and check whether certain items may be covered by Medicare or local senior programs.
