Air Seat Controller for Aging Adults

Problem: Elderly need help in entering and exiting from sitting positions, cars, recliners.
Solution Idea: based on the blood pressure cuff, use the temporary inflation to inflate a pillow to boost a person up, assisting them to a forward position to stand, with the reverse motion for assistance to sitting. After boost, the pillow deflates.
Optional rotating base for pivoting and positioning person to exit from the car.
Portable and lightweight, controller can be tucked into pocket of cushion or velcro'd into place.
Detail: The controller to the air pump for the seat cushion comes with a depression and tactile "-" (Negative) sign for deflating the cushion for gentle seating, and a bump with the "+" (Positive) sign for inflating the cushion to assist to standing.
