ACORN - Smart Tablet - Connecting Generations

11/11/2025

We had the pleasure of delivering a demonstration of the Acorn Tablet and Companion App yesterday in Tuam Library to some of the fantastic team at Galway Libraries.

We share the same goal — helping people build digital confidence and stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
A big thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and for all the great work you’re doing to promote digital inclusion across Galway.

The Acorn Tablet is part of Origin Care Group’s age-friendly technology, designed to support independent living, patient engagement and digital inclusion for all.

A recent article in The Guardian shares compelling findings from a review of 57 studies involving over 400,000 adults aged 50 and older. The research shows that using digital devices is linked to slower rates of cognitive decline.

This resonates deeply with our mission. We believe digital inclusion is essential to healthy aging — empowering older adults, promoting independence, and enhancing overall well-being.

We’re excited to see the growing evidence supporting the positive role technology can play in later life. 💙

It was great to see this recent article in the HSE Health Matters Magazine, detailing the impact our Acorn Age Friendly Tablets make! As part of the Healthy Age Friendly Homes Programme, 327 older adults received our tablets, helping them stay connected, reduce isolation, and embrace a new world of communication.

This initiative wouldn’t be possible without amazing collaborations with partners such as Age Friendly Ireland and Sláintecare. The Sláintecare Integration-Funded Project aim is to promote social engagement of older citizens and reduce levels of social isolation through the use of Acorn Age Friendly Tablets.

What makes Acorn tablets special?
➡️ Simple and intuitive interface

This week we received two letters from customers who shared how the Acorn Age-Friendly Tablet has become so important in their daily lives. Knowing that the Acorn Tablet is making such a difference reminds us of why we do what we do - creating technology that's accessible and life enhancing for older adults. The Acorn tablet is more than just a device, it's a bridge to connection, community and health and well-being.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their stories.
