Regular Gold Notes readers know that I’m fascinated by the potential that smart home technology can bring to our well-being. CEDIA, a huge tech expo, is coming up at the end of the month and my latest piece is both a show preview and look at what’s hot in well-tech. You can read it here. You can also join me and my three contributors for this afternoon’s Wellness Wednesdays Clubhouse conversation.
Smart technology is touching and improving every room in the house.
