Aid for those with diminished cognitive ability using Reside@Home
Sometimes people forget things including people they love or interact with on a regular basis. Well, this could happen to anyone including our parents. Reside@Home’s goal is to let our loved ones stay in our homes and let us have a way of communicating via a touch panel screen and the Internet.
Features for those who are taking care of their loved ones:
- manage the schedule of the care receiver
- manage the addressbook
- display photographs that would help the care receivers to remember
- send automated email messages to prompt care receivers about their medicine intake
Features for those who are care receivers:
- image-based phone book
- large type font
- audio levels that they prefer
- text-to-speech features
I am glad to read of developments in health care because it’s an important asset we have. Where I live, people stay with their parents throughout their old age. We don’t really send our parents to nursing homes. If one is has a condition which makes him/her forgetful we personally see to the needs of the person. I guess this machine gives a glimpse of what could be used in our family in case something happens and in case it is available for us here with a reasonable price. In any case, Blue Heron still has to conduct controlled testing before it could even used mainstream. But still I can’t help but appreciate what they’re doing.
