CareWindow is the world's simplest videophone, empowering people with dementia or shaky hands to connect with their loved ones. Our solution works for anybody who can't use a smartphone, preventing loneliness and isolation on a massive scale.
3.9 million Australians are living with severe or profound disability, 289,000 have difficulty holding or gripping things and more than 411,000 are living with dementia. People with dementia often have have difficulty with cognitive sequencing, impulse control, and verbal aphasia, making a conventional smartphone, tablet, or home voice assistant impossible to successfully navigate. Dexterity challenges such as shaky or unsteady hands also make it hard to operate a smart device. As a result, more than 1% of the population can't call their loved ones, and this increases their risk of loneliness and isolation.
The CareWindow automatic benchtop videophone makes video calling accessible for people with cognitive barriers, mobility challenges, and sensory or dexterity limitations. Our combination of three important design features: automatic answering, a rugged spill-proof and fall-resistant chassis, and "lockout" settings to support people with impulse control disorder, makes CareWindow uniquely suited to connect family members of all levels of ability, overcoming the problems imposed by dementia or unsteady hands.
