Of the 10 colleagues of Moore\u2019s whom I interviewed, most expressed worry about who would continue her legacy. For all she\u2019s taught the next generation of designers, there\u2019s no one they feel is quite as compelling, knowledgeable, or invested. Moore jokes that she will die while in the middle of work. (\u201cWhen I travel, I put a little card on the nightstand that identifies me, my American Airlines number, and my sister\u2019s number, you know, in case they find me dead,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t want housekeeping to just toss me in a black plastic bag.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Of course, as Moore ages, her mission has become more personal. \u201cI am not an optimist about what my next 10 or 20 years looks like, and I\u2019m really sad to say that,\u201d she said. She worries about living if design and technology can\u2019t rise to the occasion. Then she hesitated, caught off guard by her own admission. \u201cI\u2019ve never said it out loud.\u201d In the public eye, she tries to be a positive force, but behind closed doors with her friends, \u201cwe\u2019re all scared to death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Moore believes technology will be critical in helping more people age gracefully, especially single elders like herself who want to age in place. \u201cWith each passing year, we need more and more stuff in order to maintain our autonomy and independence,\u201d Moore said. \u201cNothing gets Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, all these players excited like, \u2018Ooh, Pattie says they want to live independently. We can make stuff.\u2019\u201d But what stuff, exactly? The wiggling robotic seals meant to keep elders company in nursing homes \u201care one piece of a much bigger puzzle,\u201d she said. She envisions a future world where toilets analyze our urine for health changes, shoes monitor our gait, and charming humanoid robots supplement human caregiving by feeding and dressing elders. \u201cI want him, in a British accent, to say, \u2018Darling, would you like some tea?\u2019\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In the shorter term, she believes wearables can play a bigger role. \u201cI wear glasses, earrings, watches, necklaces,\u201d she said. \u201cAll of that stuff should be informing us, keeping us safe, and letting the good guys know where we are if we go missing.\u201d While many of today\u2019s elders are tech sophisticates who order from Amazon and chat on FaceTime, nearly a third of those over 65 don\u2019t have smartphones. Those individuals are being locked out of using wearables that pair with phones\u2014or even simple things like using QR codes to read electronic menus. Moore now spends much of her time consulting on wearables, including as a board member for a new startup called Nudge, which is developing a bracelet that sends alerts through a closed network rather than a smartphone (or even Wi-Fi).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">At the end of the meal, Moore and I both needed to use the restroom, which happened to be down a flight of stairs. Moore noted that she would be slow. Not because of her age, but because of George, her injured leg. \u201cBeing hit by a car did change everything,\u201d she said. She took the stairs sideways, holding on to the banister and placing both her feet carefully on each step before proceeding. I thought about Old Pat struggling up bus steps, and about Moore as a toddler at the bottom of that staircase: the way life cycles back around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I also thought about my own injury, and felt guilty. Soon enough, I\u2019d be fine. My limp would largely vanish. I\u2019d have no problem on stairs. But I also knew a time would come when I\u2019d be unable to walk again. If it wasn\u2019t walking, it would be something else. That point will come for you too, if it hasn\u2019t already. When it does, I hope the world will be ready.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"paywall\">\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Let us know what you think about this article.
