A new EU funded project has developed a robotic home help which could revolutionise the way the elderly are cared for in the future. Developed by @giraffplus, the GiraffPlus system uses wearable devices and sensors throughout the home to help keep track of 94-year-old Lea Ralli's blood pressure, blood sugar and oxygen levels. Grandmother Ralli is able to live independently with the assistance of the machine which allows her to communicate with her family and friends, while enabling medical professionals to monitor her health and well being. Backed by €3-million of EU funding, the project is expected to come out of the development phase and go into commercial production by the end of 2015.
