By 2050, 1 in 5 people globally will be over 60.
Yet most tech still designs around youth—ignoring the very people who are living longer, working longer, and demanding more agency in how they age.
The truth is: older adults don’t need more gimmicks.
They need dignity, independence, and human connection.
That’s why ElderTech isn’t a niche—it’s the next frontier.
And in 2025, the smartest startups aren’t just building products for older adults.
They’re designing entire systems around aging itself—the physical, emotional, financial, and cognitive realities of later life.
Let’s break down the 6 categories driving the ElderTech movement in 2025—and the standout startups paving the way.
🦵 1. Physical Support
Fall prevention, mobility tracking, motion-aware care
