Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone with memory loss use this app?
Yes, for mild to moderate memory issues. The one-button design is intentionally simple. Automatic reminders help prompt them even if they forget initially.
How does this help track memory decline?
Patterns emerge over time. If they start missing check-ins more frequently, or check in at unusual times, it may indicate cognitive changes worth discussing with a doctor.
At what point is this not enough?
When they consistently cannot complete a single-tap check-in even with reminders, they likely need more hands-on care. This helps you identify that threshold.
Should I tell them about their memory loss?
That's a sensitive family decision. But the check-in app doesn't require that conversation—it's positioned as a safety tool, not a cognitive test.
