Memo Touch is the tablet for elders, senior citizens gather around

Being that our average reader age is 25 – 35, we are relying on you guys to give your grandparent or parent a heads up on a new tablet called the Memo Touch, specifically designed for senior citizens with short-term memory loss. As you can see from the image above, the tablet is a reminder and schedule orientated device, allowing you to plan tasks quickly and simply rolling up to-do lists and reminders to help you get through the day.

Memo is a breakthrough product designed specifically for persons with memory loss and the people who care for them. Elders need no computer experience to use it. “If they can watch TV, they can use a Memo,” says Memo co-founder Carrie Beia. Family members manage the information displayed on the Memo remotely from a companion caregiver website. They can add and update reminders from home, work, or wherever they have internet access.Because access to the caregiver website can be shared among siblings, aides, assisted living staff, and other helpers, Memo facilitates communication and coordination of care. Everyone with access can see the messages, calendar items, to-do lists, and medications. It eliminates the additional responsibility typically placed on the primary caregiver to keep all interested parties informed.

By inputting information on a companion website, family members can post:

- A “crawl line” with personalized messages
- A calendar in daily or weekly view, with audio alerts
- Weather forecast
- A “To-Do” list
- A list of frequently-called phone numbers
- A list of medications by day of week and time of day
- Albums of family photos
