The DISQO CX platform in action

A vast market, 60-63% of consumers 50+, are willing to invest in AgeTech solutions that address their challenges and opportunities, according to new DISQO insights. We surveyed the 50+ audience to get a broad sense of their current needs and priorities. 

DISQO’s unique ability to hone in on highly targeted audiences fuels valuable takeaways for startups building, innovating, and refining the AgeTech solutions:

1. People over 50 are not technology averse.  Seventy-four percent (74%) of 50+ consumers felt comfortable learning new technologies. 
2. A significant minority over 50 still work and/or feel unprepared for retirement. Sixty-four percent (64%) were already retired; 32% were employed part-time or full-time; and only 4% were not employed, but were looking for work. Only 43% feel or felt somewhat financially prepared to retire, and only 11% felt “very prepared.“
3. Health and financial well-being are top concerns. When asked about their greatest aging concerns, physical health, healthcare costs, and financial freedom topped the list. Not working, travel, and more family time ranked as the top excitement factors. 
4. People want to thrive while aging at home.  Eighty-one percent (81%) of respondents felt strongly about aging in place. They cited family or friends nearby, first-floor accessibility, and bathroom aids as the most important features to assist with aging in place.
