Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a walker with a communication unit, in particular a walker with an emergency system.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore already to provide a communication unit that is particularly suitable for the elderly.
  • a device for assisting the locomotion of people with impaired mobility having wheels and a frame.
  • the device includes a communication unit for transmitting an emergency call.
  • the device By connecting the device to assist in the movement of handicapped persons, which is also referred to below as a walker, with the communication unit, it can be ensured for the first time that the communication unit meets the needs of older people.
  • the connection between the walker and the communication unit ensures that the user always has the communication unit in his or her vicinity. Whenever the user moves inside or outside the house, he will use the walker and thus automatically take the communication device with him. In addition, the connection with the walker prevents the communication unit from being lost or being searched for.
  • connection with the walker but also has other benefits.
  • the communication unit for the walker can be built much larger than conventional communication units, since they do not have to fit in any pockets.
  • the controls can also be configured correspondingly large.
  • a communication unit is any unit with which the user can communicate in any way. According to the invention, this communication unit is suitable for sending an emergency call. This emergency call is preferably sent via a wireless connection.
  • Preferred embodiments for the wireless connection are a mobile telephone network, a telephone network for cordless telephones or a wireless data network.
  • the communication unit is also suitable for determining the position of the device.
  • the communication unit can use, for example, known satellite navigation systems, the wireless connection explained above or a combination thereof. The position determined in this way can then be sent together with the emergency call via the communication unit.
  • the communication unit preferably also has a display. This may be, for example, a simple display or a display with a touch screen, which can then also at least partially take over the function of the controls.
  • the walking aid can have different shapes.
  • the walking aid is a so-called rollator.
  • the rollator has a frame and a plurality of wheels attached thereto.
  • rollators generally have two handles that the user of the rollator can grasp while walking.
  • Known rollators also have brakes, a basket and a fold-out seat.
  • the communication unit is preferably arranged between the two handles of the rollator so that the user can easily operate the communication unit and easily view the display of the communication unit.
  • the walker is a wheelchair.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention 1.
  • the walker is in this case a walker.
  • the rollator has wheels 2 and a frame 3.
  • the rollator has a communication unit 4.
  • the communication unit 4 is, as in the FIGS. 1 and 3 can be seen, arranged in this embodiment between the handles of the rollator.
  • the rollator may have other features. As in the FIGS. 1 to 3
  • the rollator can still have a basket 5.
  • the rollator can still have a fold-out seat 6.
  • the communication unit 4 is suitable for sending an emergency call.
  • the communication unit 4 for this purpose has a transmitting unit with which messages can be sent via a wireless connection.
  • An example of such a transmission unit is a unit for communication via a mobile radio network.
  • About the mobile network can then be transmitted using the communication unit messages in a variety of formats.
  • messages can also be received via this network using a suitable receiving unit.
  • the transmitting unit and the receiving unit can also be realized by a combined transmitting and receiving unit.
  • the transmitting unit, the receiving unit and / or the transmitting and receiving unit may also be suitable for communication via a telephone network for cordless phones, over a wireless data network, over other wireless connections, and combinations thereof.
  • the communication unit 4 preferably still has means for detecting the position of the device 1.
  • the communication unit 4 for example, use the wireless connection.
  • it is known to determine the location of a mobile phone based on the transmitted and / or received signals.
  • the signals from a cordless telephone network, such as DECT, or a wireless data network, such as WLAN, may also be used here.
  • the position determination can also be carried out with the aid of a satellite navigation system.
  • the communication unit need not be designed as a single unit.
  • various components of the communication unit may be spatially separated from each other.
  • An example of a unit that may be spatially separated from the rest of the communication unit may be an antenna unit.
  • the communication unit can communicate via one or more of the wireless connections.
  • This antenna unit can be arranged at any convenient location on and in the device according to the invention. If the antenna unit has a plurality of antennas, for example in order to enable communication over several networks, or to increase the quality of communication, the antennas of the antenna unit can also be arranged in spatially separated locations on and in the device according to the invention.
  • Another example of spatially separated components of the communication unit may be elements of the power supply for the communication unit. If the power supply is ensured, for example, by batteries or rechargeable batteries, it may be advantageous for them to be as low as possible To arrange the point of the walker. This is particularly the case when these components are relatively heavy, because then ensures the low arrangement that the center of gravity of the walker is relatively low.
  • the communication unit 4 preferably has a display.
  • the display is arranged between the handles of the walking aid.
  • the ad can be a simple ad or a touchscreen ad.
  • the user can operate the communication unit 4 and optionally send an emergency call.
  • an emergency message is preferably compiled.
  • This message contains, for example, the information on which walker the emergency call was sent and who is the owner or user of this walker.
  • the message may also contain information from the user's medical record. For example, an indication of the incompatibility of certain drugs would be useful.
  • the message may also include the current position of the walker.
  • the communication device After sending the emergency call, the communication device can also establish a voice connection with an emergency call center.
  • the user or other people in the vicinity of the walker have the ability to notify the emergency center more information about the emergency.
  • the use of the walking aid according to the invention can be advantageous in particular in larger facilities, such as hospitals or assisted living.
  • the user of the walker can be monitored and communicated with the aid of the walker become.
  • the system preferably has a wireless network, which allows the position within the building and possibly in the field of outdoor facilities.
  • sensors may be arranged to measure the pulse of the user or to measure the blood pressure of the user, who communicate the required values to the staff of the plant as needed.
  • the user can also be forwarded much information.
  • the communication unit can inform the user about the current diet or serve as a television or radio.
