Brenda Roessing used her Echo device to call for help after she fell off a ladder and broke her leg. Thanks to Alexa she was able to reach her mother who called 911. Roessing said she would have been stranded until the next day had it not been for her Alexa device. #mysmarthome #alexasavestheday #smarthome #smarttech #techtuesday #amazonecho #amazonalexa

Kirby Smith of SunKirb Ideas and Susan Tachau of Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF), two of the leads of the Smart Homes Made Simple project, spoke about smart home technology today to the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade classes at the Academy of Visual Arts Production, at the Academies at Roxborough. As part of a film production project, some of these students are working on producing a few short videos demonstrating how real people are using smart home technology as assistive technology in their lives. Stay tuned, the videos should be released in the coming months! Funded by the Generic Technology grant from PADDC.
