Hi! I’m Makenna Deason, founder of ElderTech LLC. I’m a tech nerd with 7+ years of experience in the tech field, a former ESL and music teacher, and someone who just really enjoys older adults and the wonderful stories they have lived to tell.
I started ElderTech because I don’t think it’s right to leave behind a whole generation of people in the name of “progress”. Technology must serve the people, and that means all people.
For some older adults, that means getting training and education to learn how to navigate their smartphones and computers. But others have no desire to struggle in a digital world they are uncomfortable with, and that should be okay, too! ElderTech supports all those needs and everything in between.
Our Mission
We want to support Quad Cities seniors to successfully use technology for better health, easier access to services, and stronger social connections.
- BETTER HEALTH – telehealth options, online portals, online forms
- ACCESS TO SERVICES – online banking, grocery delivery, best gas prices
- SOCIAL CONNECTIONS – Facebook groups, family chats, digital photos
Our Vision
We want to build a digitally inclusive community where age is never a barrier to accessing the benefits of modern technology. ElderTech is here so that you can be as comfortable and secure as possible in the digital age we live in.
