Debbie W. – Multiple Systems AtrophyRequirements: 1.Be able to voice control her adjustable bed.Solution – High Level: 1.Designed a voice activated bed controller which gives Debbie the ability to control the Head Up/Down and Foot Up/Down functions of her adjustable full electric Invacare bed. We also provided a port on our bed controller so the wired remote could be connected and could continue to be used as a manual means of controlling the bed in parallel to the voice solution. This port also provides the only means of Bed lift and Bed lower as we do not provide voice solutions for those two functions for safety reasons. In most cases, the caregiver is the only one to raise and lower the bed anyhow. She can control the bed using Google and Alexa.
