ONSCREEN Simplifies Senior Care by Bringing Its “Joy” AI Companion to Android Tablets and iPads
A new era of care – ONSCREEN Joy is an AI companion that reduces social isolation, supports aging in place, and enhances quality of life
Las Vegas, Nevada – January 7, 2025 – ONSCREEN, Inc., a senior care technology innovator, today announced that it has expanded its innovative AI-based senior caregiving platform to include Android tablets and iPads. The new ONSCREEN Joy tablet app, is designed to enhance communication, companionship, and care for older adults. Unveiled at CES 2025, this new offering expands ONSCREEN’s mission to address social isolation and make care more accessible for seniors and their families.
Expanding “Joy” AI to Tablets
Building on the success and learnings of its TV-based Moment senior care platform, the ONSCREEN Joy app eliminates the requirement for a new hardware device, and brings ONSCREEN’s most important senior care features of the platform to Android tablets and iPads. This new app enables families to set up a senior care hub using devices they already own, often older generation devices that collect dust once the upgrade cycle comes around. By lowering the barriers to entry and leveraging existing hardware, ONSCREEN Joy enables more seniors and families to benefit from ONSCREEN’s broader caregiving platform.
Key Features of ONSCREEN Joy
The app includes a wide range of capabilities designed to enhance the lives of seniors and their families:
- “Joy” the Personal Companion: Offers engaging conversations, trivia, jokes, and creative activities like painting, bringing entertainment and stimulation to seniors.
- AI Wellness Check-Ins: Joy performs wellness check-ins in the form of friendly reminders for essential activities like taking medication, eating meals, drinking water, and engaging in physical activity.
- Automatic Video Call Answering: Automatically connects seniors with trusted family members in their “Favorites” list, making communication seamless. Callers using both iOS and Android devices can easily connect with their older loved ones, overcoming the limitations of proprietary video calling systems tied to specific mobile operating systems (ie FaceTime).
- Family Zoom Sessions: Allows seniors to join family Zoom calls without requiring any effort, ensuring they stay connected to larger family gatherings.
- Simple Text, Photo and Video Messaging: Displays text messages, photos, and videos in an easy-to-read format, making it simple for seniors to engage with shared content.
- Live Interactive Events: Provides access to live events and activities, enabling seniors to participate in engaging and interactive experiences from the comfort of their home, with no technical assistance required.
- YouTube Content Sharing: Plays videos shared by family members directly on the tablet, offering a personalized entertainment experience.
- Photo Gallery & Slideshow: Organizes shared photos into a dedicated gallery, creating a visual archive of cherished memories. Optionally, when the tablet is idle, photos of loved ones will be rotating through, effectively providing a convenient picture frame
Updates to the ONSCREEN Family App
In addition to launching the ONSCREEN Joy senior care tablet app, the company has rebranded its existing app for family members and caregivers as ONSCREEN Family. This app continues to provide an intuitive way for families to stay connected with their older loved ones through features like video calls, photo sharing, and real-time updates.
ONSCREEN Family works seamlessly with ONSCREEN Joy, creating a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both seniors and their support networks. Additionally, ONSCREEN provides a web application for users that prefer to set up Routines on a larger screen, and gives family caregivers the ability to trends and outcomes resulting from Joy’s check-ins with the senior.
“Launching ONSCREEN Joy at CES 2025 is a significant step toward opening up the ONSCREEN ecosystem, and making the powerful capabilities of ONSCREEN available to more families that need them,” said Costin Tuculescu, CEO of ONSCREEN, Inc. “Our goal from day one has been to simplify technology so that seniors feel supported and engaged. By offering a tablet-based solution, we’re removing barriers and empowering families to use their existing devices to provide meaningful care.”
