(June 1, 2021 / JNS) Nearly 25 percent of senior citizens in Israel live alone, causing a potentially fatal situation when one of them falls and needs immediate assistance.
To help solve this problem, a group of religious women taking part in the Jerusalem College of Technology LevTech Entrepreneurship Center’s fourth annual women’s hackathon developed an innovative solution that was crowned the winner of the competition.
Women’s hackathon participants developed a number of innovative technologies, including a vibrating bracelet that alerts the hearing impaired of incoming rockets.
