Not all elderly folks are blessed with the ability to be able to walk about the house or outside without the need for a cane or some form of support. However, for those who do require a cane in order to go about their daily lives, Lithuanian designer Egle Ugintaite has come up with a cane known as The Aid, which provides more than just support for walking. The cane was actually the grand prize winner in Fujitsu's 2011 design award, and apart from just providing support during walking, the cane will also monitors the users' pulse, blood pressure and body temperature.
