What is UniperTV?UniperTV is a solution created by older adults for older adults aging at home, designed to reduce social isolation, empower independence, and improve overall well-being. We engage individuals in an interactive community where they can connect, learn, grow and thrive, all through their TV! Uniper is already loved by thousands of older adults around the world, and studies by the US Area Agencies on Aging have shown huge benefits for them, including less loneliness, better physical, mental, and emotional health, and more. We provide personalized daily live classes (in English and Russian), a rich library of on-demand videos, the ability to connect live to family members, and other features designed just for you and your loved ones!
