15 year old Chinese American homemade tracking device to prevent grandpa from losing
although in the previous period, foreign media indicated that a scientific research institution found the root cause of Alzheimer's disease and could find a good solution from this point of view. Plan. But for now, the impact of this disease is still very sufficient. In short, dementia is more common among older people. It is also known as Alzheimer's disease.
although the disease itself does not bring about any essential harm, it can not be ignored, even in the usual WeChat circle of friends, I believe that the small partners often see a similar search. For a Chinese - American teenager named Kenneth Shinozuka, his family is also faced with such a problem, because his grandfather has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease by age.
for many people, the usual solution is to put a note with home addresses and phone calls in the old man's pocket, but even so, it is difficult to ensure that there is no negligence, such as a missing note, and so on. So Kenneth Shinozuka produced the idea of making trackers to solve this problem.
he first made a thin film sensor through electronic ink, and successfully made a very small circuit system that combined these two things to produce a sock with a sensing function and programmed it by himself. A APP that can be controlled by Bluetooth is built. When the sensor senses the old man gets out of bed and is walking around, he will send an alarm to APP on his own to remind his family to pay attention.
and in the near future, he found that in many times the old people did not like socks, and on this basis he made some improvements. The inductor is made into a button which can be used to determine whether the elderly are at risk of losing. And in the new generation of sensors, he also added a positioning system, which can determine the specific location within a certain range. The invention of
Kenneth Shinozuka has been purchased in bulk by some American welfare institutions to prevent some of the accidents that may occur to the people living there everyday. It is worth mentioning that all of these techniques are Kenneth Shinozuka self-taught according to the knowledge on the books, and when he has done all this, it is only 15 years old.
