Alzheimer’s Disease Communication Device

Tool to Help People with AD Do Their Daily Activities

As we mention from our previous blog (10 Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease), one of the early signs of A.D is having a hard time to focus, thus they forget what they suppose to do at the moment. They also lose track of date and time. It is helpful at the early stage to have communication device to help them remember a simple task.

One of the major problems of people living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s facing is undernourishment. They are undernourished because they skipped meals. They skipped meals not because they don’t want to eat but because they forget their mealtime. Not eating at the right time causes more problems and it makes the brain functions even poorly. Nourishment is very important and so eating at the right time.

You will also notice that they forget their proper hygiene. They don’t take a bath, brush their teeth and dress up. They forget that these things are necessary and should be done daily. A reminder will be helpful. It will serve as a spark of light in the darkness.

Another thing is that you should also remind them about the time of sleep. They need sleep to slow the disease. They need to be healthy as much as possible.

There are people in the early stage who lives alone and who can still manage to do their routine work. The only problem is they forgot so a communication device will be a lot of help.

One of Relink feature is “Routine Reminder”. See picture below.

Most likely it will be look like that. Relink is still under completion so expect some change. It might change base on the feedback we get. Make sure to follow us on Facebook to get the latest updates.

Routine helps people with A.D to cope with daily tasks like eating, bathing and other activities through a gentle reminder. Pictures and words are enough to help them remember.
