Hello all,
I have a person with ALS with significant cognitive impairment that continues to try to walk even though he falls every time he gets up. His family has tried “nicely talking, yelling and screaming” (their words) to have him stop trying to get up and walk -- with no avail.
They want to know if there is a device that can signal to them if he stands or tries to walk.
This is out of my tech knowledge – anyone have ideas?
As always, your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alisa
