The Arthritis Nurse Call Pendant has been developed especially for people with restricted finger strength and movement. The alarm is not activated at the touch of a button, but rather by pressing the transmitter with a hand, arm or any other body part. The silicone lamp is equipped with four bright colour-changing LEDs that are lit when the alarm is activated, thus giving the user clear visual feedback. The system is waterproof and can be disassembled quickly, making it easy to clean.
Statement by the Jury
This nurse call pendant gives people with limited motor skills more independence. Its design is particularly intuitive and elegant.
