Tabletop or wall-mounted display for seniors

She doesn’t have to remember.
The screen remembers for her.

Virtual CareGiver turns any TV or monitor — on a tabletop or mounted on the wall — into an always-on orientation display: the day, the date, and what’s happening, in large, clear type. You update it from a simple web app, on your phone or computer, from anywhere. Your loved one just looks at the screen — no buttons, no passwords, no confusion.

  • Zero interaction required
  • No camera or microphone
  • No subscription required
  • Set up from your phone
  • Uses any HDMI TV you have
Simple by design

How It Works

Three steps. No IT department required.

  1. Plug it in and pair it

    Connect the device to the TV or monitor with an HDMI cable and power it on. From your phone, join the device’s temporary setup network to give it their Wi-Fi, then scan the QR code that appears on the screen and sign in with Google. That’s the whole setup — no computer, no installer.

  2. Create reminders from anywhere

    Log in to the web app from your phone or computer. Add appointments, medication times, and daily routines. Templates make it fast — an appointment takes about 30 seconds.

  3. The screen shows the day

    The display shows the reminder slides you create — today’s date, the day’s schedule, notes in large text and calm colors — fetched straight from your own Google account, with no Virtual CareGiver server in between. It cycles through them slowly. No interaction needed, ever.

Always-on orientation

What the Screen Shows

Everything that helps a senior feel grounded in their day — nothing that requires them to do anything.

  • Date & Time

    Today’s day, date, and time — large and unmistakably clear. Always visible.

  • Daily Agenda

    Appointments and scheduled events, listed simply with times. Reminders can be day- and time-aware, so the right reminder shows at the right time — a breakfast note in the morning, an appointment in the days leading up to it.

  • Medication Reminders

    Timed reminders so medications aren’t forgotten — no alarms, nothing to dismiss.

  • Appointments & Visits

    “Tomorrow — Doctor visit” appears the day before, and again on the day. Who is coming, and when, without having to remember.

  • Routine Reminders

    Housekeeping, pet care, bills due — whatever helps your loved one feel in control of their day.

  • Reassuring Fallback

    If content isn’t available, a calm message takes its place — the screen never goes blank and never shows an error.

Virtual CareGiver is a reminder and orientation aid — it is not a medical device, not a monitoring or alerting system, and no one is watching the screen on your behalf. Please don’t rely on it for anything time-critical or safety-critical.

For remote caregivers

Update from anywhere. They don’t have to do a thing.

  • From any browser, in 30 seconds

    Templates make it fast. An appointment reminder takes about 30 seconds, and it schedules itself — a reminder the day before, another on the day.

  • Describe the day — the AI drafts the slides

    Type what’s happening in a sentence or two and it becomes ready-to-use slides. You review and approve everything before it ever reaches the screen.

  • Your changes appear on their screen

    Changes you make sync on their own — the display picks them up from your Google account and updates itself. No manual refresh needed.

  • No camera. No microphone. No tracking.

    The display in their room has no camera, microphone, or sensors of any kind — it only shows the slides you create. Your reminders live in your own Google account, not on Virtual CareGiver servers, and your data is never sold.

Virtual CareGiver exists for one reason: helping a parent stay oriented shouldn’t mean another app they have to learn, another password, or another subscription. Set it once from your phone; they just look at the wall.

What You’ll Need

A short, friendly checklist. Setup is done entirely from your phone in a few minutes — no computer and no installer. If you can sign into Gmail, you can do this.

  • A Google account

    The everyday kind — if you use Gmail, you’re set. You sign in with Google once during setup so the display can read the reminders you create. No Google Cloud or developer account, and it’s free.

  • Your phone

    Setup happens entirely on your phone — join the device’s temporary setup network to give it Wi-Fi, then scan the QR code on the screen and sign in. No computer and no installer to download.

  • A TV or monitor with HDMI

    Any screen they already have with an HDMI port — tabletop or wall-mounted. Not sure what to use? See the recommended displays.

  • Home Wi-Fi

    The Wi-Fi name and password (or a wired connection) at their home. You enter it once from your phone during setup.

  • A power outlet

    One free outlet near the screen. The device draws very little power and stays on quietly in the background.

  • About fifteen minutes

    From opening the box to the first reminder on the screen. Everything happens from your phone, one step at a time.

Your loved one needs nothing — no account, no app, no buttons. Everything here is done once, by you.
