Patients at a rehabilitation facility in Dahlonega who — due to neurological disorder — are trapped by the limitations of their own bodies can find new life thanks to the availability of a new and rare technology. By swiping through and selecting options on their smartphone or tablet, patients with diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s and Parkinson’s can open doors, turn on the television, close the blinds and flip on the lightswitch using a high tech technology called PEAC — Proximis Environment Automation Controller. Brian O’Rourke, executive director of Chelsey Park Health & Rehabilitation, said the Dahlonega facility is one of only three in the country to offer it.
