When a loved one has dementia, the continued ability to use a cell phone is a way to sustain independence while providing a means to assure family and caregivers about their well-being and safety. As the disease progresses, the challenges of using a cell phone can manifest in ways like forgetting phone numbers, confusion navigating menus and settings, difficulty recognizing icons and understanding their functions, or an increased susceptibility to phone scams or fraudulent calls.
To address these issues, the RAZ Memory Cell Phone is an easy-to-use device that provides only the features needed to stay connected, all from a single screen: photo dialing, a dedicated emergency button, and basic information (time, day, month, and date; remaining battery power; and signal strength). Other accessibility features, such as a large display, high-contrast text, and enhanced volume, make it easy to communicate with others confidently and without confusion.
Behind the scenes, the RAZ Memory Phone's custom operating system provides family/caregivers with remote tools to manage aspects of their loved one's cell phone through a simple app from their phone. It allows contacts to be created or edited, reminders sent, usage restrictions set, the ability to locate the phone/user, and also restrict incoming calls to contacts only which can prevent unwanted predatory robocalls.
The progression of dementia presents unique challenges in maintaining communication and independence for those affected. The RAZ Memory cell phone is a tailored solution that addresses these challenges with a simplified interface, essential features, and remote management capabilities that can play a vital role in preserving dignity, fostering connection, and safeguarding our loved ones.
