Abstract :
An example of an infra-red remote control device is presented in this paper. The device is equipped with additional medical diagnostic features for physiological and mental training. It is primarily a diagnostic health-care unit to support the elderly. To improve the acceptance of the device, the additional features are hidden in the shape of an ordinary, well-known device.
