Free Tech Support for Low-Income Seniors Navigating Vaccine Registration

A University of Florida graduate is helping older adults better navigate technology as the pandemic continues.

Founder and CEO of UF Innovate | The Hub graduate Orchard, Ming Yang, was inspired to create the service in 2018 after studying computer engineering at UF. She said she was constantly helping her mother and grandmother navigate their tech devices.

Orchard introduced free assistance to low-income, older adults to help them with the vaccine signup process.

“With a lot of places closed down for in-person visits, they can’t even walk into a center and knock on the door and say ‘Hey, where can I get this vaccine?’” Yang said. She said it is her goal to aid those who may not have other resources.
