Meet Rick Mileski Sr
I’m Rick Mileski Sr, the creator of Active Aging Wearables. As an older adult who enjoys staying active, including regular bowling, I care about practical ways to keep moving and make technology easier to use.
I created this site to help older adults and their families compare wearable technology and understand everyday fitness and wellness topics. My perspective is that of a creator and older adult, not a medical professional.
Active Aging Wearables helps adults who want to stay mobile, independent, and informed about health tech they can actually use every day.
We research fitness trackers, smartwatches, fall-detection devices, and recovery wearables with real-world needs in mind: large readable screens, long battery life, reliable alerts, and straightforward apps.

How these guides are prepared
Product comparisons draw on manufacturer specifications, compatibility requirements, charging needs, readability, and practical features for older adults. Health-related guides link to research and established health organizations where relevant. Researched recommendations should not be read as hands-on or laboratory testing unless an article explicitly describes that testing.
Features, subscriptions, and availability can change. Check the linked manufacturer information before buying. Health information here is educational and does not replace advice from your healthcare professional.
