Premièrement, j'aurais préféré recevoir un courriel en français. L'horloge est bien sauf pour la ligne cellulaire. Plusieurs fois hors ligne, pour une durée de quelques jours. Très déçue parce que ça crée de l'anxiété chez les personnes avec des problèmes cognitifs lorsqu'on ne peut plus les rejoindre.

This has been a life changer for my mom and her independence. The clock is fantastic as it talks to her so she doesn't have to remember numbers. It tells her its time to take her pill. This syncs with the pill dispenser and allows her only the pills for that time so there is no mixup for her on whether she took them or not. It has given her independence and us a break of always worrying about her pills. Game changer! Thank you for a great product!

Fantastique! Très utile et fonctionne très bien . Permet de garder plus longtemps nos personnes aînées bien orientées dans le temps ⏱️.
Un beau cadeau autant pour la personne aînée que ses proches .

The stand should be integrated into the clock. It is difficult to manage, especially for the elderly

Exceeded expectations. A welcome addition to the family caregiving toolkit. Well designed and easy to use. Thank you for creating such a useful product. Ideal for caregivers / siblings on the move! Very reassuring for both care recipient and caregiver. Grateful to have discovered it.

L’horloge était exactement ce dont ma mère (et moi) avait besoin. Le matin elle a ses rendez-vous de la journée et la veille le rappel. Fini le stress et les notes un peu partout. Parfait!

I can't say enough good things about this company. This device is worth every penny. It (and the pill machine) have been game changers for our family. I've tried other "Dementia Clocks" purchased on Amazon, but there really is no comparison. This clock blows them all out of the water. Idem has found a simple way to empower those experiencing cognitive decline while keeping them connected to caretakers and those they love. And their customer service is kind, patient and simply incredible. Thank you IDEM.

Ma mère adore son horloge calendrier. Elle le trouve d'abord très pratique pour savoir quel jour on est. En plus, les messages sous forme de notes sont extrêmement pratiques, ne serait-ce que pour lui rappeler quotidiennement de remplir sa bouteille d'eau pour la boire pendant la journée. Comme proche aidant, c'est aussi une "présence" rassurante dans l'appartement de ma mère.

Le meilleur outil jusqu’à maintenant pour sécuriser nos parents. Le calendrier papier n’était plus efficace pour nos parents. Ils apprécient voir la date du jour et les activités à venir.

Bought this clock for our mother who lives in a retirement home. She had a wall calendar but didn't always know what day it was. The clock / calendar allows her to align the date to her paper-based notes. The ability to send reminders and have her acknowledge them, so that we know she has seen it and is excellent. We are just starting to learn all the features and having her understand what they are and how to use them i.e. notes, reminders, messages. We hope this will allow her to remain on the independent living floor for a few more years.

A great device. It allows me to support two people living with dementia from a distance. I schedule several reminders (it’s time to wash, get dressed, have lunch, go to bed) as well as activities (mass, brain exercises, singing, etc) and appointments. I appreciate it very much, as do the two people who benefit from it.

J’adore le concept et c’est bien pour communiquer mais le logiciel est un peu primitive

Ma mère est très réfractaire au changement du a son état. Je l'ai donc laissé branché malgré son objection. Elle l'a montré à une personne de la résidence où elle habite. La personne lui a dit: "wow c'est dont bien beau". Ce qui a eu pour effet de la faire changer d'avis. :)

Maintenant je peux l'utiliser avec elle et elle trouve ça bien drôle de recevoir des messages surtout avec des photos.

Merci

L'appareil diffuse des rappels pour la prise de pillules, rendez-vous.
Ma mère en perte d'autonomie cognitive à été un peu rébarbative à ce nouveau gadget {le débranchant occasionnellement}
L'application permet à une ou plusieurs personnes de configurer à distance. Elle pourrait être un peu plus intuitive, mais est toutefois versatile. Son succès réside à la pertinence, assiduité et qualité des infos programmées.

I was responsible, within the family, for finding what would best suit our mother, who has been living with Alzheimer’s disease for a year and a half. She wants to remain independent. But she was not enthusiastic about this tool when I first talked to her about it. I kept coming back to it regularly, always in a positive way, to tell her about Eugeria’s Idem clock. And finally, after a few months of discussion, she agreed.

I installed it in her home three weeks ago, and what a joy it has been to see her accept and appreciate this tool. She calls it her biological clock and would not go without it anymore.

She likes the fact that it talks to her; it brings life into her day. The messages with photos make her so happy. I also have only good things to say about the team’s effectiveness in answering my questions.

Thank you and congratulations for this essential tool.

Vraiment super! Il est juste dommage que les photos ne se stock pas quelque part pour être visualisé dans un deuxième temps.

J'ai acheter cet horloge pour aider mon père, qui est en début de démence et c'est très utile pour lui laisser des messages et des rappels de rendez-vous. Je peux voir si il a lu mes messages. Plus besoin de le télephoner plusieurs fois par jour et l'appli est vraiment commode. Bien heureuse de cet achat.

Despite our initial concerns that it would be too much for my mother-in-law to adapt to, she has responded very positively to this clock and now wants all of her appointments on it. It has been very helpful for her to know when her appointments are and when she will be picked up.

Bonjour, cette horloge est d’une grande aide pour nous. De chez moi je programme des rappels pour mon père qui se répètent à tous les jours pour qu’il descende à la salle à manger, prenne sa collation du soi ou pense d’aller à une activité de la résidence. Je lui dis quoi prendre. Il voit les photos de moi ou de lui et moi dans les messages qu’on on a programmés ensemble et il rit en voyant ces photos joviales.

Bonjour, le produit a répondu à nos attentes. Cependant, les instructions pour installer les données ne sont pas très explicites principalement pour les utilisateurs a distance.

Quelle belle invention !!!
J'admire les personnes qui ont créé ce petit bijoux. Pour ma femme et moi ça nous a permis d'avoir une petite connection avec les parents de ma conjointe qui ne sont plus jeunes. Ça les sécurise plus d'avoir cet appareil qui contribue à palier aux pertes de mémoire.

Super aidant pour les proches en perte d’autonomie. Cet outil aurait été juste parfait si nous pourrions enregistrer notre propre voix lorsque l’on laisse des messsages.

Je suis déçue qu’il nous soit impossible d’envoyer des messages et des photos sans que mon conjoint presque paralysé ait à toucher l’écran pour signaler qu’il a compris même quand le message est lu à haute voix. La clarté de l’affichage de la date , du jour et de l’heure est impeccable et permet à des gens en institution de bien se situer dans le temps.
