Abstract: An apparatus for assessing user frailty is disclosed. In embodiments, the apparatus includes a housing that defines (or is defined by) a body and a handle coupled to the body. The apparatus includes a force sensor at least partially disposed within the handle. The apparatus further includes an inertial sensor at least partially disposed within the housing. The apparatus may further include a user interface device disposed within a cavity of the body. The user interface device may be coupled to the force sensor and the inertial sensor via one or more signal paths. In embodiments, the user interface device includes a controller with a touchscreen coupled to the controller.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a multifunctional assessment system that can include a seating platform (e.g., chair, bench, or the like) for a subject, an image-capturing device, and one or more sensors directly or indirectly coupled to the seating platform. The image-capturing device (e.g., camera or motion sensor) records ambulatory motion of the subject, and the one or more sensors can detect at least one of a force or a motion of the subject, such as a seating motion, posture, weight distribution, and motions or forces associated with the subjects overall health. For example, motions or forces detected can be associated with a subject's ability to get up off the seating platform, sit upright, grip strength, and so forth.

Abstract: A station for transporting organized medical supplies and dispensing such supplies, the station having a plurality of configurations. In the dispensing configuration, the supplies located in the station can be easily accessed without the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the station. This touch-free access aids to prevent the transmission of pathogens. An upper panel with a number of compartments for medical supplies is connected to the station body to facilitate such touch-free access. The upper panel also supports a touch-free dispenser for hand sanitizer. The station can also be configured easily to a more compact configuration for transport. For example, the dispensing panel is moved from an upright dispensing position to a lowered horizontal position for transportation. Caster assemblies supporting the station enhance mobility for transportation.
