Send messages and pictures to a dedicated display in your loved one's home, and add things like daily reminders, visit reminders, the caregiver on duty and their favorite music. It all arrives from anywhere, within seconds. ElderBoard is built for families supporting someone with dementia or memory loss. It runs on any internet-connected device you already have, like a tablet (iPad or Android) or smart TV.
ElderBoard is designed so the person who needs it never has to touch it. Family handles everything from their phone or computer.
Use a device you already have, such as a tablet (iPad or Android) or smart TV. Open its browser, go to your personal ElderBoard address and add it to the home screen. About five minutes, start to finish.
Share your private family access link with anyone you approve — children, siblings, close friends. Everyone can send content. Nobody else can reach the display.
Photos, messages, appointment reminders, visit announcements — sent from your phone, appearing on the display automatically. Your loved one never needs to do a thing.
With ElderBoard you can send messages and pictures to a dedicated display in your loved one's home, and add things like the features below. Use every feature or just one, whatever works best for you. We are still building, so if you wish ElderBoard had something it doesn't yet, we'd love to hear your ideas.
Send loving messages, medication reminders, or gentle notes. Everything appears in large, warm, easy-to-read text.
Family members send photos from anywhere. They appear beautifully on the display, automatically, with optional captions.
Add upcoming doctor appointments and family visits. They appear on the display as the date approaches — nothing gets forgotten.
Shows the current time, date, weather, and a personalised greeting. Content your family chooses.
The display dims to a quiet clock overnight and wakes automatically in the morning. No bright screens disturbing sleep.
Pin a cherished photo — a wedding portrait, a grandchild, a moment your loved one connects with deeply — and it stays in the display rotation until you choose to remove it.
ElderBoard runs on any screen with a browser: a tablet, a monitor, or the largest TV in the house. For someone with dementia, visibility is everything.
ElderBoard knows what time it is — and shows it. "Right now: Lunch. Next up: Medications at 2:00 PM." Family sets the daily schedule once, with things like a walk, a photo at breakfast or a favorite show, and the display updates automatically throughout the day.
ElderBoard can display a calm, reassuring safety affirmation on screen — a small thing that makes a real difference for someone with dementia who may feel disoriented.
Family can enable background music on the display — upload a personal playlist of familiar songs, or set a time window for when music plays. Pick a playlist, or a decade of radio, and choose when it plays. Music is one of the most effective tools for dementia comfort.
Choose from warm color palettes, including high-contrast options, to match your loved one's space and needs. The display should feel like it belongs in their home, not like a medical device.
Family enters the caregiver schedule and uploads a photo. When a caregiver is on duty, the display shows their photo and name — "Your caregiver this morning is Ann" — so your loved one always knows who to expect. You can even change the greeting to your own words.
ElderBoard runs on any internet-connected device with a browser, like an unused tablet, an iPad or a smart TV. A small display on a table can fade into the scenery. A TV on the wall showing a warm greeting in large text is something they will not miss.

ElderBoard is not connected to the internet in any way your loved one can access. Only approved family members can reach the display, which is what gives families peace of mind.
Only people you personally invite can send content to the display. No strangers, no public access, no way for anyone to reach your loved one uninvited.
The display shows only what family sends. No browser, no social media, no ads, no news. Nothing from the outside world can reach the screen uninvited.
Seniors are the primary target for online scammers. ElderBoard removes the risk entirely — the display has no browser, no internet access, no way for your loved one to accidentally wander into the open web where scammers are waiting. They see only what family sends. Nothing else exists.
ElderBoard is a Memoryboard alternative that runs on a device you already own, such as a tablet, iPad, smart TV or monitor, instead of dedicated hardware you have to buy. That also means it can use a much bigger screen, and it has a long list of customizable settings: a daily schedule, reminders, visit announcements, the caregiver on duty, background music, several color themes and a night mode. Families can switch on only the features that help their loved one.
Any internet-connected device with a browser: a tablet, an iPad, a smart TV, a monitor, or an unused device you may already have at home. We suggest at least 10 inches for a bedside or kitchen setup, and a TV or large monitor for a living room where it needs to be seen from across the room.
Right now, families who join the beta and share their feedback get ElderBoard free, for as long as they use it. Founding families keep that free access, and we will tell families clearly about any pricing for those who join later.
Nothing at all. ElderBoard is completely passive for the person receiving it. Photos, messages and reminders appear automatically on the display. There is nothing to tap, swipe or learn.
Yes. ElderBoard has a long list of settings so each family can fit it to their loved one. Use every feature or just one, such as messages and photos only, a daily schedule, the caregiver on duty, or music. Tell us what else would help and we will listen.
Yes. ElderBoard is a closed system. Only people you personally approve can send content to the display. There is no internet browsing, no social media and no ads on the screen, and no way for strangers to reach your loved one through the board.
For a limited time, families who join now and share their feedback get ElderBoard free, for as long as they use it.

ElderBoard works on any WiFi tablet, smart TV, or screen with a browser. For a living room or shared space, a 40"–55" TV mounted on the wall is hard to miss — and that visibility matters for someone with dementia. A cheap Fire Stick and any smart TV is all you need.
