While I am not a fan of the term “spying” used in the title, the article contains several practical ideas that many people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s already use.

For example, the Apple Watch is a great tool, especially for its ability to contact emergency services in the event of a fall, regardless of the user’s age. Another helpful suggestion is using a smart pill dispenser that sets reminders for medication. You can even record your own voice for the prompts, which provides a familiar and comforting reminder for a parent.

I recommend giving the article a read, as it offers a lot of useful insights.
