The EZRA II System is a home automation device created by Ken Yankelevitz of KY Enter- prises to assist quadriplegic and paralyzed individuals in the performance of common tasks and the operation of home appliances. The system provides a visual user interface with which the user may select from a number of options available through the use of a sip-puff switch. The objective of the system is to provide the user with less reliance upon assistants to accomplish necessary daily tasks, providing the user with increased independence and therefore an increase in overall well-being. The sip-puff switch is the primary interface with the EZRA II. To operate the system a user either puffs or sips on a straw allowing them to choose from the options displayed upon the visual interface in the form of a scrolling options menu. The EZRA II System provides the ability to interface with several in home systems including lights, television, radio, video game consoles, and controllable hospital beds. The hospital bed control is especially important to the user as they must continually have the freedom to change bed positions to prevent the formation of sores on the surface of their skin, resulting in potentially weeks of recuperation and discomfort. The current focus of this project is to provide a wireless interface between the central EZRA II System and an Invacare hospital bed. The current method of interface involves a control cable being laid across the floor of the room. The presence of this cable is not only inconvenient for assisting personnel, it also presents a major safety concern for the user, other individuals present in the room, and in the event of a snag could damage the EZRA II System or bed. Some of the important factors in regards to the design of the wireless interface are that it must be intuitive and simple to install, easy to repair, and the cost of unit production must be kept to a minimum. According to Mr. Yankelevitz, most of his customers are on a low fixed income from insurance and social security, therefore minimizing the cost of manufacture and installation will be of great benefit to these individuals. In regards to ease of installation, the wireless connection should be kept at a plug-and-play level as it would be inconvenient, expensive, and time consuming to have a technician install and maintain the wireless link.
