Rebless Tele-Rehab That Allows Patients to Keep Up With PT at Home
H-RoboticsThe COVID-19 pandemic put an abrupt halt to a lot of noncritical, in-person care, including physical therapy and rehab essential to assisting and maintaining mobility for a wide range of patients, from people with injuries to those with neurological disorders, like Parkinson’s Disease. H-Robotics has moved in to fill the gap in care with Rebless, a robotic machine that serves as a stand-in for a physical therapist and can be used by patients at home.

CarePredict TouchPoint and Tempo Nipping Senior Care Problems in the Bud
CarePredictIntervening at the earliest signs of a problem is almost always preferable to getting involved when there’s already a crisis.

CarePredict’s remote activity monitoring app, TouchPoint, coupled with its smart wearable device, the Tempo, promises to enable remote caregivers to do just that. Designed specifically with senior care in mind, the CarePredict system tracks an individual’s daily activity patterns, first learning what’s “normal” for that person. It then monitors that person on a daily basis and creates trend reports for the caregiver on the person’s sleep, food intake, physical activity, and activities of daily living, such as toothbrushing.

If it appears that meals are being missed, a person is sleeping more or less than usual, or a person is more or less active than usual, the app can send an alert to the caregiver, allowing for early intervention, if needed. The Tempo, which is worn on the wrist like a watch or bracelet, has a touch-button call system so caregiver and recipient can speak to one another in real time.

OrCam Read Help for People With Low Vision or Other Reading Challenges
OrCamFor anyone who struggles to make sense of text on a printed surface or digital screen — whether because of mild low vision, a cognitive issue like dyslexia, or eye fatigue — a hand-held, lightweight, pen-sized device called the OrCam Read offers a powerful assist. By pointing the OrCam Read at the text and clicking a button or issuing a verbal command (“Read the headlines,” “Read the numbers”), the user activates lasers and a smart camera to instantly convert words and numbers into audio.

The startup, which is based in Tokyo, claims its 24/7, needleless CGM detects sudden low blood sugar and allows for more precise insulin dosing than its competitors' models.

Olly Sunlight on Demand
OllyA growing field of research suggests that a lot of systems in the body (including those involved in sleep, digestive health, and the body’s immune defense) get regulated in part by the light we are (or aren’t) exposed to. These Olly lights are designed to mimic the sun’s light during the day to help wake you up and feel energized, and give off dimmer evening light at the end of the day to signal to the brain it’s time to sleep. The company claims the daytime light provides an espresso shot’s worth of energy with 20 minutes of use.
