Wonderpants!

 Topic: A type of pants that can stop bed sores.


 Article Title:  'Wonderpants' which give wearer electric shock could stop bedsores


 Article Source:  The Telegraph


Summary: Wonderpants are pants that prevent bed sores. They are actually more like underwear , and they send electrical shock throughout your body. This could keep up to a half a million patients who develop life threatening bed sores yearly.


Reaction: I think this is really smart, because when your bedridden, you cant get up, and most people cant even tend to the sores themselves. This kind of touches my heart because my moms friend's wife has been in the hospital for around 10 years, and she has bed sores really bad. This invention could have made her heal faster. This is great. Hopefully it is affordable.


World Impact: I don't really know how well this will impact the world, but I would think it would impact it greatly because it will affect the U.S greatly. This could help the richer countries, but I dont think it could help the more poor countries.  Everything hasnt been decided about it yet, but hopefully, it can benefit everyone.

    I really think that this is cool and I googled what bed sores were and they look like they are no joke. I wonder if the wonderpants are affordable too! Is she still in the hospital after 10 years? Just wondering! (: But I have nothing to complain about here, You did a great job

      She is on a life support machine, but shes basically brain dead at this point. Her husband wants to take her off of the machine because she specifically told him that if she was to ever get sick, to NOT put her on a machine, but her mother wont take her off of it. I feel really bad for him.
