Benefits

for Seniors with Early-Stage Dementia

Seniors with early-stage dementia face unique challenges as they navigate cognitive decline, social isolation, and the frustration of losing independence. ONSCREEN’s TV-based platform is specifically designed to address these issues, making life easier for seniors while helping them stay connected to their loved ones. Here’s how ONSCREEN makes a real difference:

Effortless Communication

For seniors with early-stage dementia, handling phones or navigating technology can be confusing and frustrating. ONSCREEN solves this problem with its Auto-Answer feature, which automatically answers calls from approved family members. There’s no need for your loved one to pick up a phone or press any buttons. The TV will turn on, and the video call will begin without any interaction needed from the senior. This makes staying connected completely hassle-free, reducing anxiety around technology.

Preserving Independence

Maintaining independence is crucial for seniors with dementia, and ONSCREEN empowers them to live independently for longer. They can remain in the comfort of their own homes while still receiving regular, meaningful check-ins from family. This reduces the need for constant in-person monitoring and allows seniors to feel self-reliant while still being cared for from afar.

Reducing Loneliness and Isolation

Dementia can often lead to social withdrawal, as seniors may feel overwhelmed or embarrassed by their condition. This isolation can trigger feelings of loneliness and depression. With ONSCREEN’s life-sized video calls, seniors can enjoy face-to-face conversations with family and friends in an immersive, comfortable way. It replicates the feeling of being in the same room, helping to alleviate feelings of isolation and bring much-needed social connection into their lives.

Emotional and Cognitive Stimulation

Regular social interactions play a significant role in keeping seniors mentally and emotionally engaged. Studies show that staying connected with loved ones helps reduce anxiety, stress, and even cognitive decline. ONSCREEN allows for consistent interaction, whether it’s a quick check-in or a long conversation, keeping your loved one’s mind active and promoting emotional well-being.

Privacy and Control

Unlike many other solutions, ONSCREEN is not a monitoring device or an always-on surveillance system. It’s not a “nanny cam” that’s constantly watching your loved one. Instead, ONSCREEN respects the dignity and privacy of seniors by only connecting during scheduled or authorized calls from trusted family members. Your loved one maintains their autonomy without feeling like they’re being constantly monitored, offering them peace of mind and preserving their dignity. By avoiding the invasive nature of always-on cameras, ONSCREEN ensures that seniors can enjoy their personal space without compromising on safety or connection.

TV is the Familiar Screen

Seniors are already familiar with their TV, which makes ONSCREEN an easy transition. Unlike complicated tablets, phones, or computers, ONSCREEN leverages a device that seniors are comfortable with—the TV. This familiar format allows them to use the system without learning any new technology, reducing confusion and making the experience comfortable and stress-free.

Improved Quality of Life

By promoting social interaction, reducing isolation, and offering an easy-to-use solution, ONSCREEN can enhance the overall quality of life for seniors with early-stage dementia. The ability to stay connected with family, without the stress of dealing with technology, leads to better emotional health, less anxiety, and a stronger sense of well-being.

Better Family Connection

In addition to video calls, ONSCREEN allows family members to send text messages, photos, and videos directly to the senior’s TV. This creates an ongoing stream of personal, meaningful content that helps seniors feel more connected to their loved ones, even when live calls aren't happening. Receiving visual updates—like family photos or a short video message—provides comfort, helps spark memories, and brings joy to their day, keeping them emotionally engaged with family members despite any cognitive challenges.

Support from Joy, the AI Companion

ONSCREEN’s AI companion, Joy, provides a new layer of support for seniors with early-stage dementia. Joy can offer friendly conversations, reminders, and prompts to assist with daily routines, such as medication reminders or wellness check-ins. Beyond practical support, Joy engages seniors in creative activities like trivia or storytelling, helping to stimulate their mind and alleviate loneliness. Joy’s presence offers companionship and consistency, which can improve emotional well-being and promote cognitive health over time.

ONSCREEN is not just a video-calling platform—it’s a lifeline for seniors with early-stage dementia, helping them maintain connections, independence, and emotional health. The effortless, life-sized video interactions make a world of difference, allowing seniors to live comfortably while staying close to those they care about most.

Benefits
for Family Caregivers of Dementia

Why ONSCREEN Is the Perfect Solution for Family Caregivers

As a family caregiver, supporting a loved one with dementia comes with a unique set of challenges. You’re constantly worrying about their safety, struggling to maintain regular contact, and balancing your own life while providing the care and attention they need. ONSCREEN was built to solve these issues, making it easier for you to stay connected and provide the care your loved one deserves—all while reducing stress and improving their quality of life.

Problem: Worrying About Safety From a Distance

If your aging parent or loved one lives alone, or in a different location, the constant worry about their safety can be overwhelming. It’s hard to know if they’re okay, and regular phone calls often go unanswered due to confusion, forgetfulness, or technology challenges.

Solution

With ONSCREEN, you can check in on your loved one without the usual stress or uncertainty. The Auto-Answer feature allows you to make a video call, and their TV will automatically turn on—connecting you to them within 30 seconds. No need for your loved one to press any buttons or navigate complicated devices. You’ll be able to see them, talk to them, and know immediately if they’re safe and well. It’s like being there in person, providing peace of mind without intrusive surveillance.

Problem: Struggles with Technology

Technology is often a significant barrier for seniors, especially those dealing with dementia. Handling smartphones, tablets, or even basic phones can be confusing or overwhelming, leading to missed calls and a lack of connection.

Solution

ONSCREEN eliminates the complexity by automatically answering video calls from trusted family members. When you call, their TV will turn on, and the video will connect automatically—no need for them to press any buttons or handle technology. This makes it incredibly easy for you to stay connected and check in, while removing the frustration your loved one might experience when dealing with technology. It ensures that they’re never out of reach and always just a call away.

Problem: Reducing Loneliness and Isolation

Dementia often leads to social withdrawal, which can result in increased loneliness, depression, and anxiety for your loved one. Regular contact is crucial, but busy schedules and long distances make frequent in-person visits difficult.

Solution

The life-sized, immersive video calls provided by ONSCREEN replicate the feeling of being in the same room. This larger-than-life experience helps reduce feelings of isolation and gives your loved one the emotional connection they crave. Regular calls from family can provide comfort, companionship, and a sense of normalcy, all without requiring them to leave the comfort of their home. This helps lower the risk of depression and anxiety, keeping them emotionally healthy and mentally engaged.

In addition, our AI Companion Joy can have virtual visits, custom tailored for engaging with early stage dementia patients, providing cognitive engagement and a friendly voice to talk to.

Problem: Managing Care Across Distance and Time

Many family caregivers live far from their aging loved ones, making it challenging to stay as involved in their daily lives as they’d like. The inability to visit regularly leads to feelings of guilt and a constant sense of unease about their well-being.

Solution

ONSCREEN bridges the gap of distance effortlessly. Whether you live across the street or across the country, ONSCREEN allows you to video call directly to their TV. With the Auto-Answer feature, you’re able to connect anytime within the set windows, giving you a virtual presence in their lives no matter where you are. This helps maintain emotional closeness and connection, allowing you to stay involved and reassured, even if physical visits are less frequent.

In addition, with reminders on the TV, helpful video playlists and check-ins with Joy, managing and caring for an older adult with dementia becomes a little easier.

  • Peace of Mind: Instantly check in on your loved one without worrying about missed calls or their ability to handle technology.
