A Son, a Father, and a Computer - How I'm Using Tech to Ease the Suffering of my Dying Father
summary
Built systems include Emergency notification texts via Twilio, an IoT “help” button originally on an ESP8266/microPython then simplified to an AWS IoT button that texts family and prompts scheduled encouragements, and a voice‑activated IR controller on a Raspberry Pi using Snips and a $7.99 PlayStation‑view mic array to turn on music and TV. Also experiments with Lyrebird/TensorFlow voice cloning from archival audio to restore a personal voice. Notes include a $14,000 eye‑gaze market price and the goal to open‑source cheaper alternatives.
