I have several patients that need to eat more and without the desire for food, they aren’t motivated to cook.  This means a loss of weight that is not healthy.  I have seen alarm clocks that wake you with the smell of bacon.  I would like to see “appetite trigger alarms” that would begin to fill the room with the odor of cooking food so that my patients with this problem would be prompted to seek meals.

Kickstarter is a great site to see the inventive minds at work and there are many items that can provide new ways to make the home safer for people who have mobility problems.   This item prevents dropping shampoo type bottles in the shower.  It is simple idea that can have multiple applications.
