Darrin Umbarger’s new wheelchair has what he calls the Wow Factor. Not telecare, but a great little independence-related story. East Oregonian story.

Good vibrations may help reduce falls
Not telecare directly, but its about technology in relation to an important issue for telecare services.
Less than ten minutes standing on a vibrating platform several times a week could help reduce older people’s risk of falls, Australian researchers have found. (But it has to be at the ‘right’ speed.) Another item that indicates that the falls prevention focus is moving away from environmental factors to physiology. Item from Australia’s ABC Science.

Learn not to fall
Not telecare directly, but an excellent new website for older people which incorporates just about all the good advice on avoiding falling… funded by Philips Lifeline in the US. It includes a video on how to get up if you fall. Visit www.learnnottofall.com. Who will you recommend it to?
[OK - so how about saving all the millions being spent on 'falls prevention' projects and activities and use it to provide people with a cheap computer and broadband so they can access material like this and all the rest of the life saving and life changing information and networking that is now available to those who can afford it?]
