How to mitigate
COVID Lockdown
Will you commit to protecting your loved ones, clients or residents?
The Konnekt Videophone is a vital component to block COVID-19 and avoid mental health collapse
- Replace risky family visits with 100% safe video calling
- Prevent virus transmission from cordless and mobile phones, iPads and portable tablets
- Reduce social isolation and halve* depression risk via increased face-to-face social engagement [*Teo 2019]
Face masks are scary: They hide facial expressions, make friends and carers unrecognizable, and prevent lip-reading.

What are your loved ones, clients or residents worth?
You, personally, are likely to survive. Those over 80 are extremely vulnerable.
Will you be a leader? Or will you, your family, or your organization, roll the dice and hope?
Are you adhering to Health Authority Guidance?
Don’t be accused of negligence. For infection control:
CDC already recommends the use of alternative mechanisms for patient and visitor interactions such as video-call applications.
- Many Homes were ahead of the March 10 advice and have already implemented visitor restrictions.
- Caring families have taken action and installed a videophone to help prevent disease spread and mental health decline.
Visual signs of wellness
- Carers, family: Check for signs of stress and illness
- Nurses understand the visual indicators of health and hygiene
- Lack of attention to grooming and personal care are warning signs for declining mental health
