I have some information on the Volunteers for Medical Engineering's Future Home on my Home Page. Future Home is an "automated" house using ofr-the-shelf computer technology. Enovations include a no-hands voice activated telephone system with connections in every room, adjustable tables and shelves, etc. VME's mission is to help disabled persons by adapting current technology to meet their unique needs. Most of their projects involve puting together and providing training on donated computer systems. I have just taken advantage of their services. A project team is going to re-design my computer work station at home to make it easier for me to use it when my meds are off. Of course I have been a volunteer (assembling and providing training on computer systems) and have also donated my old computer equipment and software. After they are finished I will provide a report on what they have done.
