Liability
Ben is required to have 24-hour care while living on campus. Since
we could not find a comercially available product to meet the needs of
a possible life and death situation, we can only assume that no company
wants to be held liable should the device fail. Originally, Ben would
have been able to contact emergency personnel if he was left alone, but
due to liability issues, the scope of the project changed. He will
now be allowed to contact his 24-hour care aides when left alone.
