A new kind of digital “magic wand” could help the technologically challenged link their blood pressure monitor or other connected medical devices to their home Wi-Fi.
Developed by a team of researchers at Dartmouth College, the wand allows users to transmit their Wi-Fi’s SSID and password to a medical device just by pointing. Dartmouth computer science doctoral student Tim Pierson said the goal of the invention was to help less tech-savvy patients take advantage of the most up-to-the-minute medical care.
