Call for help

About this project
The team designed 4 buttons (they beta tested with 1 button between the preTOM and TOM to make sure this solution would work).
The challenge
Over the years Uri has developed different DIY solutions for his brother in law, but as the disease progresses, the needs increase. At times, he wants to call people from other rooms in the house.
Who it helps
Uri’s brother in law, Roi has ALS. For the past 3.5 years, he has been bedridden. Prior to his diagnosis, he was a theatre director - today he continues to write scripts (one of his plays is expected to hit the stage in Spring 2017).
