iStick
‘iStick’ – Assistive technology to promote healthy living for the elderly. Elderly people enjoy going out and making friends. Inconveniences associated with physiological aspects and an – at times – unfriendly environment mean that the elderly often stay at home rather than going out. This design concept assists elderly people in coping with the outside environment, reduces the worry suffered by their families, and ensures their safety, thus allowing them to enjoy greater freedom and happiness.

Finding of the Jury:
This concept does well in considering all aspects affecting elderly people when they are out and about. We strongly believe that this design, by promoting more effective contact with other people, the person’s surroundings, and with public services, while still working as a traditional walking stick, could improve the life experience of elderly people.
