HISTORY & BACKGROUND
MyGait was founded in the year 2000 to help seniors regain their independence through easy to use technology!
When MyGait first started, their computers were placed into senior communities for testing to make sure that the very people they were designing the computer for could actually use it. MyGait has provided niche technology products for seniors, not typically marketed in traditional retail locations. After over two decades of success, MyGait continues to be the leader in senior computer technology!
MyGait Headquarters is located in Houston, TX.
MyGait customer service is also located in Houston, TX at MyGait Headquarters.
Jeff Hill is the Founder & CEO of MyGait, and is the driving force behind the company and its revolutionary products for seniors. After witnessing the frustration his grandmother constantly experienced with technology, he decided to create a computer for seniors that simply worked, and support
it with a friendly knowledgeable staff to answer any and all questions.
