As loved ones age, new worries surface among their children and other family members. Is my parent safe at home alone? What if I can’t physically visit them as often as I should? VideoCare, by Assisted Living Technologies Inc. (assistedlivingtechnologies.com) provides an elderly person with a touch-screen system that requires no keyboard, mouse or technical skill to use. It’s a large touch-screen monitor with simple prompts and large visual icons for different functions. The user can be connected for a face-to-face visit, leave an email message by voice, view photos and videos sent by family, get reminders from a calendar or sent remotely, listen to music and even play games which help sharpen memory.
