Technology for Seniors

Human Endeavour started its innovative Technology, Access and Support for Seniors (TASS) project in May 2020 as an antidote to COVID-19, to keep seniors engaged, informed, socially active, and physically and emotionally healthy during the lockdown.

TASS offers senior-friendly, fully integrated, data/internet access, remote login assistance, and multilingual technical support to seniors and seniors serving organizations across Ontario. The scope of the TASS project has been fast-growing and continues to expand through Human Endeavour’s various partnerships and ground-breaking research and design efforts.

Human Endeavour has also developed accessible tablets for seniors who are blind and deaf to reduce their isolation and keep them socially connected.

Human Endeavour is committed to ensuring its initiatives are research and evidence-based. Partnering with researchers from York University, an impact evaluation of the TASS project was conducted in 2022. York University research report link
