KOMP

What else is at play?

Loneliness is a major problem amongst older people. KOMP is a computer with a single button, which facilitates communication between them and caregivers located at a distance. That one button sets up an immediate secure videophone connection with pre-set persons. Family and friends can also send photos and videos. The single button is easy to operate for elderly people, who may have impaired motor skills or dry fingertips. Audio and video quality are also tailored to older people. Privacy is paramount; data is stored only at the user’s request.
