Re: [AI] wanted to purchase a talking weighing machine.

2019-12-24 Thread Ajay Minocha
I'd rather suggest you to go with a smart weighing machine like the
one from MI, it syncs with your mobile phone through google fit or its
own app and tells other things like BMI also. It costs around 1900
rupees and is more feature rich.

HTH,
Ajay

Re: [AI] wanted to purchase a talking weighing machine.

2019-12-24 Thread Vikas Kapoor
Few years back, I bought a HealthSense talking weighing machine from
some online shopping site (don't exactly know whether from snapdeal or
HealthGenie or rediff shopping) in just Rs.853. One of the most
fascinating features that I liked about it that it requires 2 tripleA
batteries which are easily available in open markets.

 Sudeshna and Shiva, your total blindness is not a hindrance. i am also
 totally blind, with an additional partial hearing impairment. the
 skills are very hands-on, and any of us can save a life if needed. i
 hope to be able to work with a group of people in a city, so it makes
 it worth our while to come out there. a group of 15 persons at a time
 is the optimum number to work with. if you are part of an
 organization, either at work, or otherwise, it will make it easier to
 mobilize a programme such as this. i think our organizations where we
 work should be made aware of this as well, so they can work with us on
 this. if you have something like that in mind, or someone with whom i
 can get in touch, i'd be glad to discuss details.
 Sharad, thanks for that offer. it was wonderful meeting with you; and
 you will definitely be my go-to person for advise and ways forward.
 George, Season's greetings. will wait to hear from you in the new
 year. i am truly looking forward to this endeavour.

hope to be able to work with a group of people in a city, so it makes
it worth our while to come out there. a group of 15 persons at a time
is the optimum number to work with. if you are part of an

Subject: [AI] CPR, AED, & First Aid training for persons with
disabilities

hi All,
this might be a lengthy mail. request you to bear with me, since there
is
some useful information here.
i have, in the past few months begun working with an organization
working
in
the  field of saving lives- selling medical emergency equipment,
disaster
preparedness, first aid kits, evacuation equipment, and the like. part
of
our job is also to train individuals, and organizations in first-aid,
and
CPR. to ensure i have the facts right, i've aquired a certification from
the
American Heart Association's Basic life support programme as a service
provider. it was interesting to teach the doctors how to work around a
person with total blindness and partial hearing impairment, while
learning
life saving skills from them.
going one step further, i was in Bangalore,partnering with Rotary
Bangalore
Abilities-  at Samarthanam Trust last weekend to train persons with
vision
impairment and a couple of other disabilities the art of saving a life.
a day  long programme taught them how to identify a heart attack, its
difference from a cardiac arrest and the quick response time.
additionally, we walked them through all the CPR manouvers practically
on
medical manikins. we also taught them how to use the External Automated
Defibrillator, the equipment that delivers a shock to revive a heart from
a
cardiac arrest.
all this is possible for us, the lay people, with and without
disabilities.
since we also deal with first-aid kits, i was keen on having something
simple for folks who didn't see. for that, i'd had a few sample kits
designed, and distributed to the participants who had a positive
feedback.
there is always space for improvement and that comes with suggestions
from
the community. the idea is also to make these kits cost effective, and
easy
to use. i have in mind to have one simple travel kit, and one slightly
involved home kit.
the purpose of this whole story is to discuss how little is being done
in
this particular space with us, the relatively more vulnerable
cross-section
of society. we all live with families, and are responsible citizens, and
efficient workers at our work spaces. why then, shouldn't we have the
ability to be a resource who can save a life? i have only become more
convinced and passionate about this in the months i've worked at it.
i am keen to take this knowledge to more organizations, groups, work
spaces,
and of course, individuals.
i would be more than happy to discuss this with anyone interested in
knowing
more.
thanks for having read this, in case you've made it until the end. :)
Best,
Payal
