The Pedomostick Keeps Track of Important Health Info for the Elderly
Andrew Robichaud — July 20, 2009 — Life-Stages
Maybe it’s a health thing, maybe it’s just being bored as a senior that influenced the Pedomostick from Hammacher Schlemmer. The stick looks just like a regular cane (without the hook at the top, more like a guide stick for the blind), but the technology inside allows for the tracking of important health information.
The Pedomostick tallies your footsteps, calculates calories burned, measures distance traveled, and tracks time spent walking (all in a day's work). For those late night strolls, the Pedomostick has a built in headlight to further guide you on your path.
The Pedomostick proves seniors can have cool gadgets TOO!
