Simple Tablet

Entertainment Made Simple

The Simple Tablet solution opens up a whole world of online social activities to older adults. It also allows organizations to create a virtual community that shares custom-made contents. This Android-based software is currently implemented in Samsung, Lenovo, and other devices. It offers a comfortable way for older people to connect with others and enjoy themselves in an independent and safe manner.

Goodbye to User Frustration

Older adults suffer from poor hand-eye coordination and weak fine motor skills. The Simple Tablet software’s patented “Positive Touch” technology uses a unique combination of 3 elements—a long tap with both vibratory and visual feedback—to prevent the activation of undesired features by pressing the wrong key. Swipe and scroll gestures are kept to a minimum.
To overcome vision impairments and auditory difficulties, the Simple Tablet employs enlarged fonts, simple backgrounds, and labelled buttons. It also provides written and voice messages asking the user to confirm input commands.

Reconnecting with Friends and Interests

Our proprietary Smart Content Platform allows users to review a schedule of available live events and select the activities that interest them. Visual reminders make sure that they are ready to participate on time.
The integrated simplified version of Zoom makes it possible for older adults to access and participate in virtual games and social events in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner.
Easy access to video contents (YouTube and a VOD library) enables users to fuel their individual passions and keep updated at their own pace.

Case in Point: Tel Aviv-Yafo’s ‘Tablet for Every Older Adult’ Project

The COVID-19 pandemic prevented older adults from being in close contact with relatives and friends. Throughout 2020, the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo distributed hundreds of Smart Tablets among the city’s elderly. It also created a dedicated Digital Club that offered users a whole gamut of events and contents to choose from. We are thrilled to report that Tel Aviv-Yafo’s older adults can now enjoy a fulfilling independent social life while waiting for their families to be able to actually embrace them again.
