Notelet Register interest

Reassure them, even when you can't be there.

Type a note on your phone. Within a minute it's on their Notelet, a small framed screen in their home. There's nothing for them to press or learn.

Fifteen calls before lunch, all asking the same thing.

  1. “What time is the carer coming today?”
  2. “Is someone coming this morning? Nobody's said.”
  3. “I've been sat here waiting. Is she still coming?”
  4. “Have I missed her? I don't know if she's been.”
  5. “Nobody tells me anything. Is anyone coming?”
  6. “What time is the carer coming today?”

They're not being difficult. Each call feels like the first time they've asked, and the worry is real. With Notelet, the answer is already in front of them.

How it works

  1. You type a note on your phone

    From a private web page. No app to download.

  2. It's on their screen within a minute

    In large, clear writing with the day and date at the top.

  3. You see exactly what they see

    Your phone shows their screen, so you always know it's there.

What it looks like at home

For them, there are no buttons, no glowing screen and nothing to learn. It looks like a note on paper, written by family.

My story

I'm Ari. I'm 18, and I'm taking a year out before studying biomedical engineering at Imperial College London.

A few years ago, my grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. My dad, his siblings and her carers look after her day to day, and I've watched her memory change.

I'd often hear my dad talk about how confused she got over when people were coming. Was it today? Had she already missed them? They seemed like simple questions, but there was no simple way to reassure her, because her panic came from a place of fear and loneliness.

So I built the first Notelet for her. Now she gets that reassurance straight from her chair, and she tells us she checks it every morning.

I've built Notelet from the shared experiences of families like ours. If you're interested, please register your interest. My hope is to help more families too! :)

Questions

Do they need to do anything?

No. There are no buttons to press, nothing to charge and nothing to answer. They just glance at it, like a note left on the side.

What do I need?

Just your phone, or a computer. You send notes from a private web page: there's no app to download and no account to make. Brothers, sisters and carers can all use the same page.

Does it need Wi-Fi?

Yes, home Wi-Fi and a plug socket. Almost every home router works with it. The first time it's switched on, you connect it to the Wi-Fi from your phone. After that there's nothing to look after.

If the Wi-Fi drops, the screen keeps showing the last message and picks up anything new once the Wi-Fi is back. Your page tells you if it's gone offline.

Who can see the messages?

Only people who have your family's private link, and you choose who to share it with. The messages are never shown publicly.

How much will it cost?

£139.99 for the first families, including the frame, the screen and the plug. No subscription. Registering your interest is free, and there's no obligation to buy.

Is Notelet a medical device?

No. It's a screen for reminders and messages. It doesn't diagnose, treat or replace anyone's care.

Be there for them, even when you can't be.

Register your interest and we'll email you when a Notelet is ready for your family.
