famGADGET

A simple app that enables Seniors to connect with loved ones and care providers.

NOTE...famGADGET is part of the the famGADGET Platform, which is a feature rich, two part, communications system designed to help aging seniors - without computer experience - realize the benefits of today's technology !!!

It allows busy family members and care providers to monitor a senior’s care and keep in touch with them in a non-intrusive manner, regardless of distance.

For seniors, video calls with loved ones, family photos, email/text messages, medication reminders and check-ins become automatically available on the screen with a simple gadget designed specifically for them.

IMPORTANT...Installing this app requires that an account has already been set up for the famGADGET member that will be using this device. The app will NOT start until the Device ID (determined during installation) is added to the member device setting. Once the member account is set up, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the famGADGET Web Console to do this.
