Send full size Text Messages, Photos, and Video Clips to the Tablet
Family members can send text messages and photos directly to the tablet, ensuring that the older adult is always kept in the loop. Received photos are added to the photo gallery, which transforms into a smart slideshow when the tablet is idle, doubling as a thoughtful smart photo frame.
Smart Photo Frame
When the tablet is idle, it now doubles as a smart photo frame, showcasing pictures that have been sent by family members. The older adult can manually flip through photos, or allow the tablet to automatically cycle through them, creating an engaging slideshow.
Reminders and Video Check-ins
