Raising Cane! New Walking Stick Monitors Vital Signs, Provides Navigation
The winner of the 2011 Fujitsu design award, a concept called “the aid,” brings a new dimension to the timeless walking stick. In addition to being an ambulation support, this hi-tech cane monitors the walker’s pulse, blood pressure, and temperature. These parameters are detected via the user’s wrist and displayed on an LCD screen on top of the device.Created by Lithuanian designer Egle Ugintaite, the aid cane also has a built-in navigation feature than can help the user find a location of their choice or, in case of distress, send the current location to a central help center.
According to the designer:
”the aid’ is mainly dedicated to help elderly people, or people after trauma who often have a lack of confidence to step outside their house, causing isolation, depression… ‘the aid’ is designed to be a real ‘helping hand’: to guide and prevent one from being lost, providing a feeling of security, allowing one to receive immediate help if they need it, and, of course physical support, as a walking cane. an integrated navigator, which works as a service + health device (pulse, blood pressure temperature) features measuring sensors along with an SOS button, which, by pressing it when help is needed, contacts the help centerand sends the user’s current health data and location to provide immediate and qualified help. the object is simple to use (2 buttons only), but at the same time smart.

Should We Find a Retail Space to Call Our Home? - Elegant Designer ...
As far as we know, there are no stores in the Portland-metro area that specialize in walking canes. A local haberdasher features ornamental silver-handle canes, vendors at the Saturday Market carve heavy wood walking sticks, any number of drug stores offer a selection of aluminum orthopedic canes — but no store is devoted to selling fashionable canes.
We envision a comfortable space where we can show off our beautiful cane patterns, as well as educate our customers about these unique canes. Customers could browse our elegant designs, ask questions, and have our staff perform the measurements to determine the perfect length cane.
If we could measure and custom-cut your fixed length cane while you enjoyed a cup of coffee, would you stop by our space? What would you expect from a Pat Heyward Canes store? Are there other products you would enjoy browsing while waiting for your cane?
