GPS-Equipped Walker Saves Grandpa From Making A Senile Turn

Oh, Grandpa you did it again. Brought home by the police for making a wrong turn and “accidentally” walking into the woman’s fitting room. What are we going to do about these old timers constantly getting lost in the shuffle? Some student researchers are playing around with the idea of including GPS connected through WiFi on walkers.

This way, patients at nursing centers would be able to take care of themselves better, without their forgetful minds causing them to take a wrong turn at the cafeteria, and instead walk into the secret senior torture dungeon. — Andrew Dobrow
