EZ Wheeler Cart
The EZ Wheeler Cart will make household tasks easier. The front basket can adjust to any table height and can rotate to a 90-degree angle to allow clothes to be easily loaded into the washer or dryer or for unpacking groceries. There are about 60 seniors testing the prototype in Northeastern Ohio and once they are ready to be released, the EZ Wheeler Cart will be able to help elders do simple chores that take a lot of effort for carrying objects of bending over to load clothes in the washer and dryer.
iShoe
The iShoe insole could help doctors detect balance problems before an elderly person falls down. The original iShoe was a product of NASA astronauts once they returned to Earth because their balance was thrown off. Once perfected by research and developers, the iShoe insole will measure and analyze the pressure distribution of the patient’s foot and report the information via laptop to their doctor. The shoe may also have an alert on it when the person falls but this has not yet been developed. I think this is going to be a useful technology because balance in elders is a big reason to why they hurt their selves and solving those balance issues will save them surgeries for broken bones that happen when they fall.
