At RemindMecare we believe that to care for someone well you need to know them well.
Our app ReMe provides family, friends, nurses and other formal carers with simple and rewarding personal activities that entertain whilst also building a vault of meaningful personal information. Together you explore pictures, music and video, collecting favourites along the way. It’s fun to use and most importantly, it’s a safe place to store and share information that really matters to the person being cared for.
We built ReMe after witnessing young family members unable to make a connection with relatives. Since then, we’ve worked with people living with dementia, learning disabilities and senior care services to develop a rewarding means to build understanding between different generations, cultures and backgrounds, always keeping the person cared for and their loved ones in control of the personal information we call Electronic Life Records (ELR; life story, likes/dislikes, preferences, moods, routines, habits, and of course memories).
When the time comes to introduce new carers or move to a new care setting, ReMe is there to introduce the experiences, interests and background that are unique to the individual in their charge to the new carers. ReMe helps present the person rather than a list of symptoms. Our software is currently used in care homes, day care centres and memory clinics and is [June 2018] in formal trials in the NHS in the UK at Kingston Hospital to evaluate how knowledge of the individual can reduce medication and the length of stay in acute wards.
You can even use a smart speaker like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home to engage the individual when they are alone, using ReMe’s stored information to entertain and delight, as well as provide medication, hydration and scheduling alerts.
RemindMecare keeps your ELR data secure and prevents the commercial exploitation that we all fear today, whilst also rendering it GDPR compliant for the care providers you consent to use your data in their care process. And RemindMecare is portable, so no more repetitive form filling as you encounter each different care provider. RemindMecare services are provided free to the public, whilst any formal care organisation that you invite to access the information pays a small fee.
RemindMecare won’t solve all your care needs, but it will address the most important part; achieving engagement through knowing the person. With knowledge comes understanding, empathy and better care. ReMe is your best way to record, safeguard and share what matters.
