The Possum
Freeway is a portable environmental controller that
provides simple remote control of domestic
appliances. The unit can control items such as
TV, Video, Hi-Fi, lights, lamps, power sockets,
alarms, intercoms, door, window and curtain openers,
loud speaking telephones, pagers and other
vital equipment. The easy to learn operation
enhances the ability of disabled people allowing
independence to be maintained.
A large backlit scanning display with the
option of icons, text and voice announcement of
selections make it ideal for people with cognitive
and/or visual impairment.
The size of the icons on the menu is
determined by the number of functions and this can
assist users with poor vision e.g. a 4 function menu
has larger squares than a 10 function menu. Between 1
and 32 user definable functions can be
controlled per menu. For overlay formats see
freeway trolley.
To assist users with communication the
Freeway can record and replay basic spoken phrases.
The functionality of the Freeway can
easily be changed by a family member, carer or health
professional slotting in a different front panel and
it is therefore beneficial in the following areas:
Where
control is needed in 2 rooms for different items e.g.
bedroom and living room.
In
rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices where
it can be used by people with different
abilities.
For
people who are learning the concept of environmental
control, input switches and the scanning
menu method. They can start by operating 1
function and progress to control more items using the
same piece of equipment.
The unit is operated by a wide range of input switches,
including a wireless remote control switch suitable
for users who require greater portability.
