Limitations of Sticky Notes and Whiteboards
Easily overlooked: Sticky notes and whiteboards often become cluttered or fade into the background, reducing their effectiveness.
Manual updates: Frequent manual updates are cumbersome, making it difficult for caregivers to maintain consistent reminders and messages.
Visibility issues: Handwritten notes can be challenging to read, especially for seniors experiencing vision issues.

Memoryboard features a high-visibility digital screen, presenting messages and reminders in clear, large fonts and high-contrast visuals. This greatly reduces the chances of miscommunication or confusion.

With Memoryboard, caregivers can easily schedule recurring reminders and daily messages, maintaining structure and consistency in the daily routine. This significantly reduces caregiver stress and enhances the senior’s sense of comfort and predictability.
