I just discovered this site. I am a software engineer that has some tools for online Medical Forms/Document Management. At the moment, we handle a number of Pathology reports for labs in the USA. We are HIPAA compliant in all of tools. My guess is that you are involved with some BioTech companies or research facilities that are working to help people with dIsabilities (My Wife has MS, can barely walk and spends much of her time in a power wheel chair; I recognize the challenges of being handicapped and still trying to do things that interest you). I am trying to find some of the companies that are actively working on solutions and trying to help add (internet based) networked interface value for tracking peoples issues, or providing real time monitoring. We are interested in working with the companies doing this (we are not charging anything for this, if its a start-up or a research project, a focus group, or clinical trial). Many disabilites are too few in numbers for a large company to bother with - I realize that does nothing good for the people suffering with problems. In general, I am looking to help. I am also located in Colorado Springs. I would enjoy meeting you and discussing what types of things that you would see as useful for people with Disabilities. Please let me know if you are available to meet. Jens Moller Cell: 719 210 3272

It is a lovely concept and dream. I really view the thread, "Living with the Pain of Fibromyalgia" as my support group. The people there are wonderful. Lately though, I have to say, I am disillusioned and cynical about the rest of the site. I'm sorry, but I am. It somehow, misses the mark of your dream....which is noble. I'll stick with the Village....it's safe there. It's a wonderful dream.

jmom, this would only help with preventing him from rolling backwards if you need a break. it would not help assist in the pushing. i am sure that is a needed technology. Anyone out there know if this exist?

Thank you for this informative piece. I appreciate the disclosure component as well. I may be giving "Magic Wheels" a try as I attempt to shift from a power chair to a manual chair in the weeks to come. Thanks again. bonnie

Would Magic Wheels, or other similar products, work for a caregiver pushing a wheelchair? My son, Jeremy, loves to be taken on long walks, and there are some great walking paths near our home, but are more hilly then my knees care for, especially when pushing - or holding back - a wheelchair! I've often wondered if there was something out there that would help out with hills.
