HI
My mum is in a care home. She has dementia. We were looking for a table that she could watch a film on. There is a short film of the family that she likes to watch. If she had a tablet or similar device with just one shortcut icon on the desktop she could probably work that. She could tap the icon and it would just play the film. Literally nothing else is required from it. Just something very simple that could perform that task without throwing up lots of confusing windows or buttons popping up with choices for her to make. That would confuse and stress her out. If it is possible to set something up on a tablet so that is has really really limited functionality is really what we are investigating.
If anyone has found a solution for this it would be great to hear. Or any links to websites that deal with such a thing.
Thanks
