Smart phone + Smart Walker

In my previous post, I mentioned that the Smart Walker was a very effective tool for handicaps to walk around. In addition to being extremely helpful, it also provides the most bang-for-the-buck for any wheelchair-like vehicle. However, like all wheelchairs, the Smart Walker needs many more improvements. This product lacks the tools to help handicaps when they are doing something else rather than walking around. Adding a smartphone or a similar device would definitely help any handicap for the entire day.

There are some necessary applications the device must have in order for it to be truly helpful. The first one is a clock that needs to have several functions, including telling the handicap when to eat, when to take their medicine, and to have a daily schedule configured just for the patient. Another application that is crucial is a tiny GPS. This app can help both the patient and his/her family members. When a handicap is lost, one can find their way by using this GPS. When family members are searching for a handicap, they can locate him/her with the GPS sensor.
