I’m wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could work as an internet connected dementia clock - that is displaying the time, time of day, date, and the ability to update the display remotely with reminders, notes, and messages.

I have an old iPad kicking around, which could save us from purchasing something like this.

Thanks in advance!

    Any reason to have it be self hosted, or really Internet connected? I can think of a few reasons, but I’m curious your use case.

    I know they make $15-20 standalone units that are just what you’re looking for, but not Internet connected at all.

      The desire to have it internet connected comes from my wanting to leave notes on the screen. Currently, the major cause of anxiety/stress for the family remember is not remembering when we had last interacted. Leaving a kind of “journal” of our most recent interaction by phone/in person/etc may be helpful for reducing that anxiety.
