Question

i have to do a school project so maybe add who invernted. what it does. and how it helps elderly.

Answer 1

Depends, Bifocals, hearing aids.

Answer 2

Jitterbug is a cellphone developed especially for older people and those with failing eyesight. It doesn't have all of the extra gadgets, the touchpad has larger numbers, and the screen shows a larger image. I don't know a lot about these devices; they might call it something other than a cellphone. It's not as teensy as others, fitting comfortably in the hand, and I think there is padding on the inside, to cushion it against the ear.

I have a feeling that an aging population must be why there are larger numbers on paper money. I love this! I'm nearsighted, and my near vision is fading, so I appreciate things like this, so that bills aren't as easily mistaken.

I saw a TV ad for hearing aid batteries and noticed that each is attached to a strip so that the person can maneuver the battery into place then pull the tab loose. I don't use a hearing aid (though I probably need to), but I can see what a big help this can be a big help. Perhaps batteries won't get dropped and lost. It's tough enough to pick up a larger object, let alone a button-size object.

Answer 3

I couldn't truthfully answer the who part, but I believe anything that benefits the handicapped can also benefit the elderly. That includes wheelchairs, walkers, "scooters," stair lifts, grab rails in bathtubs and showers, slipper socks with floor grabbing nubbies, accessible living quarters with lower counters and stovetops and sinks (and higher toilets). It's wicked hard to sit on a child-height toilet and to stand once more and remain balanced.

Answer 4

Type door knob that does not have to be turned as a common one, They have many things for seniors that have "" improved every day life."" . Medical field{ More meds " saved a lots more lives {Seniors centers give them a free lunch and social freedom } Other wise they would have been the forgotten age that stayed in the children's back room all by themselves .

Answer 5

Adult Diapers....need you say more. It holds in the pooh. You should get one and do the liquid experiment....
The E Z Lift Chair... although you would need a diaper on because the chair doesn't move as fast as you can, and by the time you get in the sitting position you have already " pooped" your pants. :)
hope this helps.

Answer 6

The lift chairs that look like recliners. The new in home baths and showers you can walk in and close a door and sit down and bathe safely. They had them in nursing homes but it's nice they are making them available for in home use now.

Answer 7

#1 Poverty. #2 Lack of accessibility and respect.
And #3. I can learn more from a 100year old, Than i can from a One year old. (Remember, You are where you are today. Because of the, So called. Old People)
(No offence intended.)

Answer 8

Any inventions I can think of, you could apply them to people in any generation under certain circumstances. So, if I were to take a stab at it I'd say anything that provides greater mobility (e.g., electronic scooters), increased quality of life (e.g., new drugs that ease pain), and helps people live independently (e.g., medic alert braclets).
