1. Intelligent window cleaning robot with app

When the sun brings the dust streaks to light, it is high time to take the rag. However, many windows are not completely accessible by hand. Anyone who spontaneously rises to the edge of the bathtub or a self-made chair-stool combination in such a case risks dangerous injuries in the event of a fall.

Thanks to the Bluetooth window cleaning robot PR-127 V4 from Sichler, the window cleaning is done immediately (almost) automatically. Finally, the cleaning robot can be easily activated by remote control or app. He even cleans double or triple glazed panes on his own and stops automatically when finished.

The window cleaning robot PR 127 V4 is also suitable for very large glass surfaces

2. Inirv React smoke detectors with integrated stove control

Short on the phone or go to the door and then forget the time while chatting; has probably happened to everyone before. In the meantime, so that no misfortune happens in the kitchen, the Inirv React smoke detector monitors the stove in the meantime. Should it actually come to gas or smoke, it not only activates a warning function – it also switches off the stove immediately. Especially for demented persons who quickly forget switched on devices, the Inirv React smoke detector can be life-saving.

3. Hearing aid with BrainHearing technology

Being able to hear well increases the quality of life enormously. However, it can cost a lot of nerves and money to find a suitable hearing aid and to adapt it to personal needs. With an innovative hearing aid called Opn, the company Oction wants to give every user the opportunity to decide for themselves what sounds he wants to focus on. A high-performance chip scans ambient noise 100 times a second and actively filters out disruptive sounds. Calls can also be transferred directly from the smartphone to the hearing aid.

4. Withings blood pressure measurement facilitates the documentation by app

In old age diseases of the cardiovascular system increase and the daily blood pressure measurement can therefore usually not be avoided. However, elderly seniors often need help from carers or family members. The wireless Blood Pressure Monitor should help you not to lose track. An intuitive app synchronizes automatically via Bluetooth with the sphygmomanometer and displays the values ​​in a clear traffic light system.

5. Pillo doses medication and talks to the patient

The drug robot Pillo observes its surroundings with blue eyes and is thus not perceived as a threat by confused persons. He identifies individual persons on the basis of the face, portions their individual medication composition for them and verbally reminds them to take them. If a single person does not take their medicine, Pillo can send a warning to other family members.

6. ElliGrid pill box as a discrete alternative solution

For those who prefer to take their medication with them, the modern ElliGrid pills box is a good solution. Individual pills no longer need to be counted and placed in specific compartments. Instead, each tray of the ElliGrid pills box is filled with one whole pack. The device then shows by flashing signals when and how many of them have to be taken. If you forget to take a reminder by SMS (on request to a contact person).

ElliGrid is also a good alternative for young patients

7. Pendix turns every (favorite) bike into an e-bike

Even with sports activities, the age sooner or later noticeable. It does not have to be a new bike, though. The special drive Pendix can be installed by the dealer in any bicycle. It weighs only 6.5 kilograms and can accelerate the bike up to 25 km / h. Pendix can give cyclists new impetus with three drive modes, from Eco Mode to Smart Mode to Sport Mode.

8. Smart walking stick with monitoring function

Sounds bizarre, but is meant seriously: with the cane Smartcane the French manufacturer Dring wants to make everyday life safer. The networked walker is equipped with sensitive sensors and GPS inside and thus detects unusual events. For example, if the user falls down and stays, a previously designated contact person is alerted by e-mail or phone call. In addition, the walking stick can detect when a possibly confused person suddenly comes off the path. More information about Smartcane is available at (English) Manufacturer side of Dring,

9. QR code for "labeling" of seniors

Even more extraordinary is the idea of ​​a Japanese company from Iruma. She developed for practical reasons small and very durable QR code sticker for the finger or toenail. Although there are already many sensors that sound the alarm if a confused person leaves the house alone. However, these are often attached to clothing and are lost when changing. The QR codes, on the other hand, should remain in place for two weeks and can be read out by the police if a patient does not remember his personal data.

Are there any QR codes for people with dementia?
