It looks like iPhone apps aimed at adding parents and caregivers are coming out frequently as of late. And now we have yet another one in the Baby Pack & Go iPhone App. This new app helps keep records and a checklist of things to do for parents, sort of like a mini-organizer that most parents are going to find handy.

Something handy for families that love to go out and bring baby along, it would be best to have something to hold to find out if they missed out anything like diapers or the infant’s formula. With so many errands and things that parents have to address, the Baby Pack & Go is an app parent would surely benefit from via their iPhone or iPod Touch.

The Baby Pack & Go app is now available at the Apple Itunes Store for only $1.99.

The age of androids and robots to assist humans has been heard of and with news that GeckoSystems has unveiled its own offering in the Carebot MSR 3.87, it looks like we are slowly advancing towards the future where both humans and robots will exist side by side.

“The new CareBot MSR 3.87 can automatically watch over grandma or the kids, patrol your home, and/or run errands for 8 to 14 hours continuously without recharging. This capability, along with GeckoTrak(tm) and internet-based video conferencing, enables our CareBot to perform like a family caregiver, enabling them watch over their loved ones, even when they can’t be there physically.”

GeckoSystems recently developed GeckoTrak(tm) hardware and software that enables the CareBot to automatically follow grandma from room to room. GeckoChat tells her when it’s time to take her medications, and can even remind her when her favorite television shows are coming on. GeckoChat is a specially designed assistive technology that enables caregivers to teach the CareBot what to say, and when.

The foregoing combination of sensor-fused technologies brings a new level of cost effective situational awareness to their adaptive, intelligent, multi-tasking personal care mobile robots. Situational awareness is the environmental understanding resulting from blended sensor systems and the common sense implications of those combined perceptions that enables the CareBot to “know” (i.e. be “situationally aware”), for example, when someone should be contacted immediately about the care receiver’s current condition.
