My aunt, his primary caregiver,
21
55823
1479
माझी आत्या जी त्यांची काळजी घेई
01:09
really struggled to stay awake at night
to keep an eye on him,

23

I became really concerned
about my aunt's well-being

मला आत्याच्या प्रकृतीची काळजी वाटे.
01:17
as well as my grandfather's safety.
25
65858

तशीच आजोबांच्या सुरक्षिततेचीही.
01:19
I searched extensively for a solution
that could help my family's problems,

26
67599
3531
या समस्येतून मार्ग निघाला नाही
01:23
but couldn't find one.
27

खूप प्रयत्न करूनही.
01:24
Then, one night about two years ago,
28
72960
2733
दोन वर्षापूर्वी एका रात्री
01:27
I was looking after my grandfather
and I saw him stepping out of the bed.

29
75693
3465
मी आजोबांना पलंगावरून उतरताना पहिले.
01:31
The moment his foot landed on the floor,
30
79158
1992
त्यांचा पाय जमिनीवर पडला
01:33
I thought, why don't I put
a pressure sensor on the heel of his foot?
a pressure sensor on the heel of his foot?
31
81150
3262
आणि मला कल्पना सुचली
01:36
Once he stepped onto the floor
and out of the bed,
and out of the bed,
32
84412
2397
जेव्हा ते जमिनीवर पाय ठेवतात
01:38
the pressure sensor would detect an
increase in pressure caused by body weight

त्यांच्या टाचेला दाबदर्शक
संवेदक का बसवू नये? जो

and then wirelessly send an audible alert

01:45
That way, my aunt could sleep
much better at night

आणि त्यामुळे आत्याला
काही काळ झोपता येईल

without having to worry
about my grandfather's wandering.

आजोबांच्या भ्रमणाची कमी काळजी करून.
01:51
So now I'd like to perform
a demonstration of this sock.

मी या प्रणालीचे कामकाज दाखवू इच्छितो.
01:57
Could I please have
my sock model on the stage?

कृपया माझे उपकरण मंचावर ठेवा.
02:00
Great.
39
108831

02:04
So once the patient
steps onto the floor --

जेव्हा रुग्ण जमिनीवर पाय ठेवतो
02:07
(Ringing) --

(घंटी वाजते)
02:09
an alert is sent
to the caregiver's smartphone.

44
126057

आभारी आहे. या साधनाचा
02:24
So this is a drawing
of my preliminary design.

45
132045

पण हे माझे प्राथमिक साधन आहे
02:27
My desire to create

46
135819
2622
असे तंत्रज्ञान वृद्धिंगत करण्याचा
माझा इरादा आहे

02:30
perhaps stemmed from my lifelong love
for sensors and technology.

47
138441
3528
हे कदाचित या तंत्रज्ञांनाची
मला असलेल्या ओढीमुळे.

02:33
When I was six years old,
48
141979
1486
मी सहा वर्षाचा असतांना
02:35
an elderly family friend
fell down in the bathroom

49
143465
2330
माझ्या कुटुंबाचा एक वयस्कर मित्र
स्नानगृहात पडला.
स्नानगृहात पडला.
02:37
and suffered severe injuries.
50
145795
1710
तो खूप जायबंदी झाला.
02:39
I became concerned
about my own grandparents

51
147505
2101
या घटनेमुळे मला आजी आजोबांची काळजी वाटली.
02:41
and decided to invent
a smart bathroom system.

52
149606
2352
स्नानगृहासाठी अशी सूचक प्रणाली
शोधण्याचे ठरवले.

02:43
Motion sensors would be installed
inside the tiles of bathroom floors

54
155566
3838
स्नानगृहात कोणी पडल्यास कळावे यासाठी
02:51
Since I was only six years old at the time
55
159404
2012
त्यावेळी मी सहा वर्षाचा होतो.
02:53
and I hadn't graduated
from kindergarten yet,
from kindergarten yet,
56
161416
2323
बालर्गातून बाहेर ही पडलो नव्हतो.
02:55
I didn't have the necessary resources and
tools to translate my idea into reality,

57
163739

माझी कल्पना अमलात आणण्यासाठी
योग्य साधने नव्हती.

03:00
but nonetheless, my research experience
58
168073
2633
माझ्या शोधवृत्तीने अशी प्रणाली
शोधण्यास मदत केली.
शोधण्यास मदत केली.
03:02
really implanted in me a firm desire
to use sensors to help the elderly people.
to use sensors to help the elderly people.
59
170706

संवेदके वापरून वृद्धांना मदत करणारी
03:06
I really believe that sensors can improve
the quality of life of the elderly.
the quality of life of the elderly.
60
174957
4616
अशी यंत्रणा वृद्धांना सुराशित ठेवेल
03:12
When I laid out my plan, I realized
that I faced three main challenges:
that I faced three main challenges:
61
180944
3481
कामाच्या सुरवातीस मला
तीन आव्हाने पेलावी लागली
तीन आव्हाने पेलावी लागली
03:16
first, creating a sensor;
62
184425
1769
प्रथम असे संवेदक तयार करणे
03:18
second, designing a circuit;
63
186194
1579
त्यासाठी विद्युत परिपथ मांडणे
03:19
and third, coding a smartphone app.
64
187773
1746
स्मार्ट फोनवर चालणारी प्रणाली करणे.
03:21
This made me realize that my project
was actually much harder to realize
was actually much harder to realize
65
189519
3408
मला वाटत होते
03:24
than I initially had thought it to be.
66
192927
2055
त्यापेक्षा ही हे कठीण होते
03:26
First, I had to create a wearable sensor
that was thin and flexible enough

प्रथम अंगावर घालता येईल असे पातळ लवचिक

After extensive research and testing
of different materials like rubber,

69
201237
3419
रबरा सारखे निरनिराळे पदार्थ वापरून
03:36
which I realized was too thick to be worn
snugly on the bottom of the foot,
snugly on the bottom of the foot,
70
204656
3535
कळले हे पायात घालणे सोयीस्कर नाही.
03:40
I decided to print a film sensor
71
208191
1567
मी ठरविले, संवेदक फिल्मवर छापावे
03:41
with electrically conductive
pressure-sensitive ink particles.

3576
ज्यामुळे त्यावर दाब पडल्यावर
विद्युत प्रवाह कार्यरत होईल
विद्युत प्रवाह कार्यरत होईल
03:48
Therefore, I could design a circuit
that would measure pressure

74
216236
2964
त्या करिता दाब मोजणारा
विद्युत परिपथ मला बनवावा लागेल

03:51
by measuring electrical resistance.
75
219200
1767
जो मला विद्युत रोध मोजून समजेल .
03:53
Next, I had to design
a wearable wireless circuit,
a wearable wireless circuit,
76
221267
2759
मला अंगावर घालता यईल असा
बिनतारी परिपथ करावा लागेल

03:59
and requires heavy, bulky batteries.
78
227338
1763
त्यासाठी मोठा विद्युतघट वापरावा लागेल
04:01
Thankfully, I was able to find out
about the Bluetooth low energy technology,
about the Bluetooth low energy technology,
79
229101
3627
या तंत्राचा मी आभारी आहे

04:11
Lastly, I had to code a smartphone app
that would essentially transform

83
243343

For this, I had to expand upon
my knowledge of coding with Java and XCode
my knowledge of coding with Java and XCode
84
245821
3676
त्यासाठी मला जावा व कोडींग शिकावे लागले.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kenneth Shinozuka - Smart product inventorKenneth Shinozuka designs smart products ... He's been doing so since he was in kindergarten.
Why you should listen
When he was six years old, a family friend of Kenneth Shinozuka fell down in the bathroom. The friend was ok -- but the incident inspired him to design a motion detection system that could be embedded in bathroom tiles. He never actually made one in real life (remember, he was only six) ... but he was hooked on both the promise of invention and the potential of technology.
Since then, Shinozuka has designed smart devices for his grandfather, who has Alzheimer's disease. One invention that caught the eye of both the media and awards programs such as the Google Science Fair: a pair of smart socks, designed to send an alert to a caregiver if a patient gets out of bed. In 2014, he won the $50,000 Scientific American Science in Action Award, while he was also a 2014 Davidson Fellow.
