Video telephony for seniors

Video telephony connects generations

Maria Kerngesund is 93 and lives with her 24/7 caregiver Anna in her large apartment in Vienna. Except for her grandson Gerhard, who visits her on weekends, the rest of the family lives in good health in sunny Carinthia. Due to the relatively long journey, the entire family only gets together now and then. The corona pandemic further complicates this circumstance. Although Maria enjoys the company of her nurse Anna, she often wishes for nothing more than to see her son Peter. The great longing often leads to depressive phases and overemotionality in Maria.

Video calls for EVERYONE!

Peter’s cousin Elfriede had the solution: Elfriede has owned it for a long time JAMES tablet , a senior tablet specially designed for video telephony. Elfriede uses that Tablet mainly in order to be able to hold your doctor’s rounds online, as the doctor’s office you trust is relatively far away. However, the tablet is also perfect for maintaining private contacts. After Peter did that Tablet tried it with his cousin, he equipped both himself and his mother Maria with the tablet.

Best of all: Maria doesn’t need to be shy about operating the tablet, as she simply has to pick it up and hang up during her son’s video calls – just like making a familiar phone call. Maria also dares more and more and already video phones independently with her dear friend Irmgard, who lives in a nursing home. Irmgard’s nursing institution even has several JAMES tablets. When Maria calls, it will JAMES tablet Irmgard à la hotel service brought directly to the room. From now on, she can experience the voices and faces of her loved ones live at any time.

But Anna, Maria’s caregiver, is also excited about the benefits of the tablet; since the JAMES tablet has been up and running in Maria’s home, Anna has been able to effortlessly record and then manage her day-to-day care tasks and activities using the integrated MOCCA ONE software. MOCCA ONE is the market-leading platform in mobile / ambulatory care software and for Anna, as a 24/7 caregiver, an absolute asset to her work routine.
