I am a senior. I fell on April 7th while changing the bedsheets. I fractured my little toe on the right foot and hurt my shoulder. That gets a mind/body to thinking...
Do you think in the future they will come up with something to keep (especially) seniors safer from those hard falls? Say some protective shield or other physical device, like, for example, a clear plastic bubble type encasement that’s thin, lite-weight, maybe 1-2 inches of air cushioning, easy to put on, etc? What kinds of other things must be taken into consideration for such a gizmo?
It would have to be some kind of temperature controlled “outfit.” How would it affect the skin/body? How to make it comfortable for all day use? How to make it “mobile-friendly” and “cost-friendly?” Could such a shield eventually become some kind of “invisible force field” (something akin to the fundamental forces)? If so, that’s far in the future, I suspect. But hey, I’m a believer. If something is possible, it will happen somewhere, some way, somehow.
Granted, such an “Air Suit” (patent not pending 😜) can’t stop all falls, but it can probably mitigate the potential injuries of the really bad ones.
As technology progresses, such an Air Suit could do other tasks to the body, like keep it moisturized (deluxe models 😁). What else does my imaginary Air Suit need?
Also, any other good patent ideas about anything, from anyone here?
