Konnekt Videophone vs Seniors Tablet

Konnekt Videophone vs Seniors Tablet

Is your parent or grandparent better off with a Konnekt Videophone or a seniors tablet?

Use this comparison table to help guide your decision.

The key factors are:

• Age / technical ability and health. For most healthy 65-75 year-olds with no memory loss, no hearing/vision impairments and no mobility/dexterity limitations, we recommend either a regular iPad / Android tablet with accessibility features enabled, or else a carefully personalized seniors tablet.
• The need to take it outside. A tablet is more portable and can be taken outside. This must be weighed up against the risk of dropping / losing / misplacing it, the need to (remember to) charge it, the smaller size, and the greater difficulty in learning its user interface. 
• Potential future needs. In the future, there may be a need for features such as captioning of video calls / phone calls, reading of lips and facial expressions, greater volume, a larger screen, bigger buttons, larger text, and a simpler user interface. If you are confident that these features will not be required in the reasonably forseeable future, then a tablet may be adequate.

Otherwise, we would recommend a Konnekt Videophone or Captioning Videophone.
