Lusora hopes you have fallen, and you can’t get up. Their new LISA pendant offers “security to elderly people who want to live at home, and their family,” who obviously want nothing to do with them. The pendant itself contains accelerometers that can detect rapid acceleration (falling over, breakdancing) and use its integrated radio to contact an appropriate monitoring company or hip-hop producer. The device is just part of the LISA ZigBee-based monitoring system that can, among other things, transmit a still image of the room grandma’s taken her spill in. Hopefully, they’ll build one that shocks the wearer when they go wandering a little too far from the bingo hall.
$300 for the pendant, which probably doesn’t include the monitoring service.
