The Aid cane for tech-savvy senior citizens

like iphones, ipads, music stations only seem to serve younger generation, where as technology should also make some funky gadgets for senior citizens as well! Right?

So here we are with a super cool tech cane Aid, which can do some very helpful things.

The cane, which is known as the Aid, has a built-in navigator that provides the user directions to a certain location. So if you get lost, this cane will point the way home.

In addition to that, it has monitors for user’s pulse, blood pressure, as well as body temperature. These important numbers are displayed on the LCD screen on the cane’s clasp. It even has a button for sending out an SOS in case of emergency.

The Aid is the design from Lithuanian designer Egle Ugintaite, for the Fujitsu 2011 design award, and it won the grand prize. Hmm, with this I can imagine the future grandparents are gonna be really tech-savvy, not like boring grandparents of today. I am already hoping to become synonym with ‘Super cool grandpa’ in near future.
