For many of us, using voice commands to turn on lights
or change channels on our TV is a luxury, but for those
with limited mobility, voice activated solutions such as
these can be life changing, both for the individual as well
as their caregivers. Bill and Deb Weis had the pleasure of
meeting and working with Carrie and Robbie Ivey in the
summer of 2017, and the need for this website was
inspired from the work they did with them. Soon after the Ivey project,
they were joined by an old Digital and Microsoft colleague (John Hollcraft)
whose talents helped our company mature and achieve 501(c)(3) status.
At Limited Mobility Solutions, our goal is to leverage existing home
automation devices that are compatible with Google and Amazon smart
speakers to help people who have lost their independence due to
debilitating disease or injury so they can regain some of that
independence.
We also explore how extending home automation to other areas could
be beneficial to those with limited mobility. In 2017, there were no voice
control options for beds and lift chairs, but in part through our
relationships with those industries there is a better story today.
In the home furnishings area, there are many bed companies
offering voice as an option. Long term and hospital beds are lagging
behind and that is where we try to help. Beyond that, customers who are
unable to regularly operate a hand remote for a bed may also have
remotes for ceiling fans or floor fans that they struggle to operate. We
could provide a voice solution for those as well as other devices where
the manufacturer does not currently have a voice option.
