Best suited for

Someone in the mild to moderate stages of dementia, living at home (alone or with a partner), where reading a clock or remembering today's plans has become difficult.

Why we built this

We know this problem first-hand. The first version of RemindMeVoice was built for our own relative living with dementia — and the difference it made to their daily life is what convinced us it was worth making available to other families.

Many families want a simpler way to help a loved one living with dementia stay oriented during the day. Phones and devices are too complicated. For many people with dementia, even reading a clock or a simple display can become difficult — the information is there, but making sense of it isn't always easy.

RemindMeVoice removes that barrier entirely. There's nothing to read. Just press a button and hear what matters today — a calm, friendly voice reads out the time, the day, any plans, and helpful prompts.

Family members manage the schedule remotely — no need to be there in person to update reminders. It's designed for calm, everyday support at home.

How it works

Three simple steps — nothing more is needed.

1

Family adds plans

Add appointments, reminders, and notes using a simple companion app — from any phone or laptop.

2

Button is pressed

Your relative presses the button once — that's the only thing they need to do.

3

A voice reads today

A calm voice reads the time, the day, today's plans, and any helpful prompts.

What your relative hears

Spoken reminders for dementia at home, in plain, friendly language.

"Hello. It's Tuesday morning, just after ten o'clock."
"Your daughter is visiting this afternoon, around two o'clock."
"Your doctor's appointment is tomorrow morning."
"It's a nice relaxed day today — nothing else planned."

Examples of spoken daily reminders for dementia at home

What it helps with

🕙

Time and day

Always starts with the time and day — a gentle daily orientation.

🗓️

Today's plans

Appointments, visits, and reminders read aloud in plain language.

🔔

Helpful prompts

Customisable messages: bedtime nudges, reassurance, and more.

🔔

Peace of mind alerts

Get notified if the button hasn't been pressed in a while — quiet reassurance that all is well.

📡

Managed remotely

Family updates schedules from anywhere — no visit needed.

🔘

One-button simplicity

No apps, no menus, no remotes. Just one button to press.

Why not just use…?

Honest comparisons with the other things families try.

…a memory clock?

Day clocks help — until reading the screen itself becomes a struggle. RemindMeVoice speaks instead, so it works when reading doesn't. And family can update the prompts remotely — no driving over to change a setting.

…a smart speaker?

Smart speakers — and newer "AI voice companions" — ask the person to remember a wake-word, formulate a question, and wait. That's exactly the part dementia erodes. RemindMeVoice asks for one thing: press the button. Nothing to remember, nothing to say.

…an AI companion device?

Conversational hubs add shopping lists, chat, music and check-in dialogues. At the moderate stage that breadth becomes confusing, not helpful. We deliberately do one thing — orientation, reminders, and peace of mind — so it keeps working as things change.

…a tablet app?

Tablets need charging, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and screen interaction. That's a lot of cognitive load. With RemindMeVoice, the family gets the app — the person with dementia gets a button.

Questions

Who is this for?
RemindMeVoice is designed for families supporting someone living with dementia at home. The person with dementia uses the button; their family manages the schedule remotely.
What does the button actually do?
Pressing the button plays a spoken summary: the time, the day of the week, any plans or appointments for today, upcoming events, and helpful prompts (like "your daughter is visiting this afternoon"). It's all read aloud in a calm, natural voice — nothing appears on a screen.
Do I need to buy a device?
Yes. RemindMeVoice comes with the button device (£99, one-off), which is everything you need to get started. There are no hidden extras.
Can family manage reminders remotely?
Yes — that's central to how it works. Family members update appointments and reminders using a simple companion app from their phone or laptop. No complex setup needed. Changes are reflected the next time the button is pressed.
Is this available now?
Not yet. We're currently inviting people to register interest for pre-launch testing. Sign up above and we'll be in touch when testing opens.
How much will it cost?
The planned price is £14.99/month plus a one-off £99 for the device, which is everything needed to get started.
How is this different from Alexa, an Echo Show or an AI voice companion?
All of those — including newer "AI companion" hubs aimed at older adults — rely on a wake-word and a conversation. The person has to remember the magic phrase, formulate a question, and wait. For someone with dementia, that's exactly the part that gets difficult. RemindMeVoice has one button, one purpose, and nothing to learn. It also can't be accidentally activated by background conversation, and it deliberately doesn't try to do shopping lists, music or chat — because at the moderate stage that breadth becomes confusing, not helpful.
How is this different from a memory clock?
Day clocks are great until reading a screen itself becomes a struggle. RemindMeVoice speaks instead, so it works when reading doesn't. It also tells your relative what's happening today — not just the date — and family can update those prompts remotely without driving over.
What does the £14.99 a month pay for?
Cloud-managed reminders that you update from anywhere, quiet-day alerts to family, app updates, support, and secure backups. You can cancel any time — there's no lock-in.
What if they forget the button is there?
It's the most common worry, and the honest answer is: placement matters. The device is designed to sit somewhere they already look — next to the kettle, by their chair, on the bedside table — with a soft glow that draws the eye. The button itself is large and tactile so it invites a press. From the family app you can also trigger a friendly voice prompt remotely ("Mum, press the button to hear today's plan"). And if a whole day goes by without a press, you'll know — that's what the inactivity alert is for. This is also why we recommend RemindMeVoice for the mild-to-moderate stages, where forming the habit of "press the button when I'm unsure" is still realistic.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
Yes — RemindMeVoice connects over your relative's home Wi-Fi for the voice and to stay in sync with the calendar and reminders you set. Most broadband providers now include 4G fallback if the line drops, so brief outages aren't usually a problem.
Is it always listening? What about privacy?
No. RemindMeVoice has no camera and no always-on microphone. The device only does something when the button is physically pressed — that's it. There's no passive listening, no recording of conversations, and nothing watching the room. Your relative's home stays their home.
Can I get help paying for it?
For some families, yes. Attendance Allowance is a non-means-tested benefit that can be spent on assistive technology like RemindMeVoice. Disabled Facilities Grants from your local authority may also contribute — ask your local adult social care team. We can't promise what you'll be entitled to, but it's worth a conversation.
What if my relative's dementia gets worse?
A physical button works further into the journey than tablet apps or conversational AI, which depend on screen interaction or speech. When the button stops being used, the inactivity alert tells you — so you find out from the device, not from a missed visit. RemindMeVoice is designed for the mild-to-moderate stages, and you can cancel any time when it's no longer the right tool.
What happens if my relative passes away?
We're sorry — and we'll make this easy. Email us and we'll cancel the subscription on the spot, with no notice period and no awkward conversations. You're welcome to keep, return or donate the device; we can put you in touch with families on the waiting list if you'd like it to go to good use. No admin from you beyond a single email.
Is this a medical device?
No. RemindMeVoice is a voice reminder tool for everyday support at home. It is not a medical device, does not provide emergency monitoring, and is not a substitute for professional care.
