New 'smart' walking stick has sat-nav to guide people home
A 'smart' walking stick designed in Japan has built in GPS navigation to help guide old people home. The stick has an easy-to-read LED screen which shows arrows in the direction the user needs to walk. It also features a heart rate monitor - in a thumb reader on top - and transmits heart rate data to health workers and relatives remotely.
