What is mindminder?
mindminder can be described as a "companion" to independent living. It's based around a User having regular structured conversations with the mindminder App (via phone, tablet or other internet device) to obtain lifestyle and wellbeing support, and to provide verbal feedback on questions about welfare, mindset and cognitive capability.
If you have ever talked to an Amazon "Alexa" device, mindminder takes this concept of hands-free interaction and embeds it into a User's lifestyle with tailored, scheduled conversations. However unlike most Alexa conversations, family members or Carers can customise the conversations remotely and obtain insights into a User's independence and health though Carer dashboards accessible at any time away from the User's home.
mindminder's aim is to extend an independent, healthy and dignified later life as far as possible whilst providing discrete arms-length reassurance to family and carers through cost-effective technology.
Mindminder's conversations with Users can be enhanced with personalised anecdotes, memories, reminders and other carer-defined dialogue to provide a familiar and dynamic interactive source of stimulus to a user.

Reassuring, and Reassurance
Carers (family members, carers or others who interact with a User) have full control over the conversation content and schedule.
Conversation content and structure is fully customisable, with User-specific elements such as pertinent Anecdotes or Reminders being blended with pre-defined aspects such as wellbeing checks or welfare prompts and suggestions.
User replies to specific questions are transcribed and available for review by Carers; in complement to physical visits or calls, mindminder discretely gathers a long-term view on a User's independence, capability and health for review, substantiation and consolidation with anecdotal observational evidence.
Features
mindminder was inspired by, and developed as a response to seeing the challenges of maintaining oversight of frail family members
in the early stages of cognitive decline.
This lived experience guides the design of mindminder where User and Carer interactions are designed to be as simple as possible to understand and use.
Voice-only Conversations - No Buttons
No need for Users to worry about typing or interacting with buttons and menus, the User's experience is completely hands-off with all interaction via conversation.
When not engaging in scheduled conversations, mindminder presents a useful clock to the User. In fact conversations can also include a verbal reminder of the time to provide some time-awareness to users if hard of sight or lacking in daily routine.
Fully Customisable
Content is fully customisable; an engaging blend of welfare and wellbeing questions, personalised anecdotes, reminders and cognitive stimulation elements can all be introduced into the conversation. Even the character of mindminder's voice itself can be customised to the User's preference of persona.
Customisation is done via the Carer dashboard and User content and configuration can be changed fully remotely.
Designed for Compatibility
mindminder isn't dependent on expensive, dedicated technology and has been designed to operate on mobile phones, tablets and laptops alike. All that is required is an internet connection and a browser to get a User set up and using mindminder within minutes.
Personalised
mindminder isn't just a "Reminder" app; it's designed to integrate into a User's lifestyle from dawn to dusk; Carers can schedule specific content at appropriate times in the day - for example checking that a User has eaten by late morning, has remembered to close the curtains, or even remembered that it's the day to put the bins out - all in support of an independent but supervised living experience.
