To keep an eye on things from a distance, Maria gave her father a Compaan. This is a tablet for seniors that she can use to make video calls with him or her father to receive and view photos of the family. “The best thing about the Compaan is that it has smart messaging functions that allow me to send questions throughout the day. For example, I have set up my father to be asked every morning: 'How are you feeling today?'. If my father clicks on the 'not good' button, we get a signal. We will also receive a notification if we do not receive a response within a certain time. That way I hear from my father every day, without having to call him.”
Tablet
A tablet is a small, flat and portable computer. For example, with a tablet you can look up information on the internet, read a book, listen to music and send an e-mail. Do you find it difficult to work with a regular computer or tablet? There are also various senior-friendly tablets for sale. The Compaan is such an example.
