Electronic Brakes for Rolling Walkers
Rolling walkers have traditionally used bicycle-style squeeze brakes to prevent users from falling. However, for elderly with reduced hand strength these are hard to use. Biomedical engineering students from Cornell have now developed an electronic braking system, which only needs a gentle touch of a button to release the brakes. Once the user lets go of the handlebar, the walker automatically returns to the braking position. Because of constraints on cost, weight and need for simplicity the whole project took as many as 16 years from its inception to the current "Smart Walker".

ViSi Mobile Wireless Vitals Monitoring System
Eastman Chemical Company, DD Studio, PolyOne and Phillips Plastics have teamed up to create a vitals monitoring device for Sotera Wireless. The ViSi Mobile will measure blood pressure and heart rate, and it will be chemically resistant and waterproof.
The ViSi Mobile™ system is composed of a wireless device that straps to a patient’s arm to monitor vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate; a monitoring device to keep clinicians connected to patients’ information; and a charging station.The device’s lens, housing, printed circuit board assembly and connectors are made with Eastman Tritan™ copolyester MX711. The cold-swaging ability of Tritan allows for fit and press assembly of the device, which offers a tight, smooth, continuous fit between parts; allows for joining parts without the use of chemicals, adhesives or mechanical fasteners; and saves energy. By utilizing Tritan, the device features superior resistance to chemicals used in disinfectants and cleansers — without cracking or crazing. The material also exceeded durability requirements, which is particularly valuable in mobile devices that are used frequently or could be dropped or damaged should a patient fall.
To protect the device from water and fluids found in the hospital environment, it had to meet IPX7 requirements of withstanding water submersion for 60 minutes at a depth of 1 meter. DD Studio relied on compatibility samples and testing results from PolyOne to select GLS Versaflex™ OM 3060 TPE. It successfully adheres to the Eastman Tritan™ copolyester substrate to seal the device housing, including speaker port and microphone, from water seepage and protect internal electronics.

Honda To Exhibit Walking Legs at the Smithsonian in New York
Rather goofy-looking at first glance, Honda's new legs (aka Bodyweight Support Assist Device) makes walking and stair-climbing easier for the elderly and folks on rehab. 
Leveraging walking technology from full-body ASIMO robot, the leggy device provides natural walking and crouching support with its combined saddle, motorized leg frame and force-sensing shoes. With a control computer and battery pack neatly tucked away under the femur of the frame, the legs sense and guide motion while walking, going up and down stairs and in a semi-crouching position. An assisting force is directed towards the user's center of gravity and in sync with movement to support one's bodyweight and reduce the load on the user's leg muscles and joints.
The legs are on display at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution in New York starting May 14th.
The prototype, as of Nov. 2008, weighs 14.3 lbs including shoes and batteries, operates for 2 hours on a single charge of a lithium ion battery, and comes in three sizes for users of roughly 5'2", 5'6" and 6' in height. More than 130 patents have been applied by Honda to its walking assist devices, which are currently being tested in real-world conditions to evaluate their effectiveness. Honda's other walking assist device will not be on exhibit.

iFall: An Android Fall Detection App
If you were saving money for that fall detection device we covered recently, you can now keep it in your pocket together with the Android phone you already own. Researchers at Florida State University have developed an alert system for the Android platform that both detects falls and alerts authorities. Data from the accelerometer is evaluated with several threshold based algorithms and position data to determine a fall, taking into account factors such as height, weight, and level of activity of the user. When a fall is detected a notification is raised requiring the user to respond. If he does not respond, the system alerts family or friends via SMS. If someone responds, the system automatically enables the speakerphone and after their confirmation of the fall, emergency services are contacted. iFall is still in the testing stage and not yet available, but release is planned for late summer.

College Students Invent Next Generation Medical Alert Bracelet
Northeastern University seniors took a family tragedy and turned it into a monitoring device that could one day help seniors who fall down with no one around to help. Max Flaherty’s aunt had a medical alert bracelet, but that didn’t help her when she fatally tumbled down some stairs, was knocked unconscious, and no one saw. So when Flaherty and other members of his group in a senior design class at Northeastern University met over pizza last summer to decide on a project, they used the failings of the bracelet Max’s aunt as a starting point. Over the year, through weekly meetings with their adviser Professor Charles DiMarzio, they came up with a bracelet that will call for help after a fall and send biomedical data to emergency responders. "We took development kits for a microcontroller, accelerometer, and zigbee chip, our custom pulse oximeter and integrated them into a single point fall detection system with biometric sensing," team leader Chris Udall told Medgadget, who will be going to graduate school in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech next year.
A review on falls by Elaine Rawsky in Journal of Nursing Scholarship reported that the risk for falling increases significantly in those over 75 and up to 1/3 of people over 65 fall each year. A large amount of those falls are unwitnessed. The LiveSafe, as the team calls their device, works by constantly monitoring accelerations at the wrist and is activated by a fall. Jon Sarafinas, another team member, made it able to discern a fall from other behaviors, like a high five. When activated, an alarm is sounded, giving the user 10 seconds to push a button to turn it off. After those 10 seconds the LiveSafe sends an alert to a monitoring station using a standard wireless protocol, along with the pulse rate of the patient, valuable information to emergency responders to help determine the urgency of the call. Brian Rosenberg, a team member headed to law school in the fall, used feedback from EMTs to decide which biomedical information would be important to responders. These abilities were integrated with the help of final team member Darren Nunes into a small engineering model that Udall calculated could run for 50-60 hrs before needing a recharge. The team decided not to continuously monitor the pulse, thus allowing the battery to last longer and they thought that most cardiac events that would be important would lead to a fall, and so decided that they would prefer the device to raise a false alarm than to not report a fall, hence the 10 second delay followed by automatic notification.
LiveSafe cost about $800 to put together and the team thinks that it could be produced for around $100 in larger scale production. A judge for the class competition, who is in the medical alert industry, was very impressed. The Northeastern team does not have any current plans to commercialize the technology, but are willing to entertain any offers that come their way. Dr. DiMarzio thinks that they did a great job with consolidating their 5 year engineering educations into a functioning technology demonstration, and if one day the LiveSafe is turned into a commercial product that saves a life, families like the Flaherty's would probably think so too.

Incontinence Detector Broadcasts The State of Your Pants
An Australian company called Simavita is releasing an incontinence detection device to be used in nursing homes across New South Wales. The SIMsystem uses a strip that detects liquid and a cellular device to send a note to a nursing station or a care provider.
From the product page:
The SIM™box, when fitted into the individual resident's stretchpants (SIM™pants), transmits sensor readings from the SIM™strip in the SIMpad® over a wireless network to the SIM™server. The SIMsystem™ Manager software running on the SIM™server then detects key information about continence events and determines when to alert care staff about an event requiring attention.Alerts are sent via text message to the carer's mobile phone, or via the facility's paging system if preferred. As carers are often unable to immediately respond to events, the software will display a summary log of alerts and manual observations can also be entered. The final bladder chart includes all observations in one easy-to-read report.
On completion of the 3-day assessment, the SIMsystem™ Manager produces shift, daily and 3-day reports that may be used by carers for the development of continence care plans.
The SIM™box and SIM™network have been built for ZigBee®, the industry standard protocol endorsed by the Continua Alliance, for low-power and low-range wireless applications. The SIM™box can operate continuously for at least 100 hours before the batteries need charging.

At-Home Robot Supposedly Helps Elderly Keep Tabs on Life
Next week at the Intercompany Long Term Care Insurance Conference (ILTCI) in New Orleans, Robosoft a company out of Bidart, France, will unveil a new robot that can assist the elderly and dependent in their own home. Although the video below spotlights some impressive capabilities, the robot has no hands to bring you a cup of water and is essentially a Dell laptop on wheels.
From Robosoft's press release:
Kompaï is intended to help dependent persons in their daily lives. It is a mobile and communicative product. Somewhat like a dog, it has its "basket", which is the recharging dock that it heads back to when its batteries are low. Equipped with speech, it is able to understand simple orders and give a certain level of response. It knows its position within the house, how to get from one point to another on demand or on its own initiative, and it remains permanently connected to the internet and all its associated services.Its primary means of communication with people is speech, with an additional touch screen that features simple icons. Future generations of Kompaï will be equipped with visual abilities, and also the possibility to understand and express emotions. And later, the addition of arms will allow it to handle objects, leading to meal preparation and tidying; more practical functions, yet still fundamental in everyday life.

NHS Conducting Large Trial of At-Home Health Telemonitoring System
The perpetually struggling British National Health Service (NHS) is testing a telemonitoring system from Philips in hopes that it will help moderate the cost of providing care to the elderly. The Philips Motiva is a device that hooks up to a television and displays interactive prompts for patients to perform certain tasks, like measuring blood sugar. Via a broadband connection, readings are then sent out to the clinic for overview by a healthcare professional. NHS is hoping that the system will help it reduce the number of in-person patient visits to the hospital, freeing up time for more pressing issues to get their turn.
From The Times of London:
Some 400 patients are being monitored in Newham. Each is provided with diagnostic equipment, such as an SPO2 meter for blood oxygen, which clips on the patient’s finger. The meter is attached to a set-top box linked to the patient’s television. The readings are sent to healthcare staff of the Primary Health Trust, who contact the patient if the readings cause concern.The Newham trial includes patients with diabetes, heart disease or breathing problems, known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, a condition affecting a million Britons.
The trial will also use sensors installed in homes to monitor elderly people suffering from dementia, or individuals with Down’s syndrome who may be at risk of injury.

M-PERS Wireless Activity Monitor Doubles as Automatic Emergency Notification System
At the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Wellcore out of San Jose, CA is showing off its personal activity monitor and emergency notification system targeted at the elderly folks that live independently.It's the modern "I've fallen and I can't get up," except the clip-on device can automatically detect the fall and places a call to emergency services. If paired up with a GPS enabled cell phone, it will even send the exact GPS coordinates of where the incident occurred. The package comes with a wireless base capable of recharging two units and a built-in messaging system that vocalizes text messages sent from cell phones for easy listening by your grandma.
Detects falls automatically and sends help in an emergency. Wellcore distinguishes falls from other types of motion with unprecedented accuracy--all without having to press a button. When a fall is automatically detected, a Wellcore specialist contacts the wearer to assess the level of urgency. If an emergency is determined or there is no response, Wellcore sends emergency services and alerts designated caregivers and family. The button can also be pressed at any time to initiate the same immediate response.
Asks to be worn when forgotten. When forgotten, Wellcore sends friendly reminders through the base unit, asking to be worn, and a notification appears on the online dashboard. If the sensor is left unworn for an extended period of time, an email message is sent to a designated caregiver or family member.
Monitors activity and provides an online dashboard for at-a-glance reassurance. Accessible 24/7, a password-protected dashboard tracks motion and learns daily patterns over time, highlighting significant changes when they occur. The dashboard also displays notifications and alerts concerning everyday activity and safety.
Delivers messages to stay connected. Text messages created on the online dashboard are converted to voice and played on the base unit, similar to voice messages on an answering machine.
Protects on the go--not just at home -- for a safe, active lifestyle. When paired with a Wellcore-compatible cell phone, Wellcore allows 24/7 protection anywhere within the cell phone's coverage range. When a fall is detected, the cell phone summons emergency responders to the exact location of the fall using the cell phone's GPS, and caregivers are alerted.
Innovative design. Made of brushed aluminum, the Wellcore device and base unit feature contemporary design from one of the world's most renowned industrial designers, Dr. Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog design. Unlike other Personal Emergency Response devices, the Wellcore solution is stylish as well as waterproof.
