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!

    So long as you understand and accept the risks - that’s your call. Glad you’re thinking things through.

    That calendarclock looks promising actually. One of the things I was going to suggest was some sort of “client monitoring” to ensure that the screen has been updated so that it doesn’t display old events which would be very confusing to somebody struggling with a sense of time. And their admin app seems to provide you with a “last updated” time which you could check to see if it’s working. Hopefully there could be some alarms/notifications if it hasn’t updated recently?

    Either way - I hope the person you intend this for is doing well. As well as those caregiving.
