Gizmo Guy: Tech steps in to help aging boomers

The Raleigh Sprite IE electric bike has a light (four-pound) pack of high-capacity, rechargeable lithium ion battery cells. JONATHAN TAKIFF, INQUIRER COLUMNIST POSTED: Sunday, October 4, 2015, 3:01 AM Boomers are not aging without a fight. We crave exercise and culture, aim to stay independent. The body and mind do not always cooperate. But with help from today’s “silver-centric” baby boomers technology, staying active and on top of the game is in our grasp. Hear, here. Can’t always make out the dialogue on TV shows? The villains are the dinky speakers in flat panel TVs, conspiring with the loss of higher frequency sensitivity in aging ears. Powered TV speaker systems such as the Zvox SoundBase 670 and Cambridge Audio TV5 (both $399) that fit under a TV set offer a special voice-enhance listening mode that clarifies dialogue some.

New Sensors Help Patients With Dementia Avoid Getting Lost

    New technology can help prevent patients with dementia from getting lost when they start to wander. (CC0 Public Domain/Pixabay) By Christina Farr     SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 Like most patients with dementia, Ray Ciancaglini has good days and bad days. On his worst days, Ciancaglini, a retired boxer, might wander off in the dead of winter from his home in Finger Lakes, New York, without notifying his wife Patty. Occasionally, he’ll walk for miles and forget his home address. Six out of ten people with dementia will wander, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The Association found that about 50 percent of people who wander will suffer serious injury or death if they are not found within 24 hours. Ciancaglini recently started wearing new GPS-tracking shoe inserts called SmartSole, which fit inside his favorite pair of shoes. The insoles connect to a website and mobile app that his wife can access at any time. […]

An Albemarle County organization is testing out a device that helps keep an eye on people who may wander.Fifteen clients of the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) are trying out SmartSoles, a shoe insert fitted with a GPS or Bluetooth tracking device. The device sends a signal to a computer or phone, showing the wearer’s exact location. Caregivers can also check where the SmartSole wearer has been over the past week.JABA employees say this new device is better than other technology they’ve seen in the past.“To them, it’s just a sole. It’s not a GPS tracking device. Where we’ve seen a lot of people with bracelets, wander guard, other systems in place, they don’t want to wear them,” said Danielle Flippin with JABA.Caregivers can program boundaries or […]

GPS Pilot Makes National News Across Canada

CTV National News: Avis Favaro reports on the technology being tested to help people with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Can GPS technology help dementia sufferers stay independent longer? From the article: Of the 40 families in the study so far, three-quarters say the technology works Each year, dozens of patients across Canada suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia go missing. For some, it can lead to death if they’re not located soon enough. In an effort to prevent such tragedies, some dementia sufferers are institutionalized. Trial researchers are hoping the GPS technology will help keep the growing number of dementia patients safe in their own homes, and thus prolong independent living. Some of the devices being tested include a watch with two-way communication and a shoe insole with GPS that will give a patient’s exact location. Researcher Lili Liu says three out of five dementia sufferers will experience some form of wandering. “We […]
