Reminder Rosie arrives in Australia - Say Hello to Reminder Rosie

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 11 May 2018 – Reminder Rosie, the state of the art voice activated talking clock, for blind people, vision impaired, memory and cognitive impaired people, is now available for the first time in Australia from TabTimer Reminders™.

Reminder Rosie is a simple-looking digital alarm clock, embedded with revolutionary speech recognition and cutting-edge technologies, that records up to 25 loud personalised, familiar and comforting voice reminders, and plays them back at a specific time and date, everyday, weekly, monthly or annually.

Rosie is so easy to set up right out of the box.  Just wake up Rosie by saying ‘Hello Reminder Rosie’, say a command such as ‘record reminder’ and follow Rosie’s prompts!

A family member, caregiver or user simply records a message, perhaps ‘Mum, It’s time to take two red and one white pill after breakfast’ 8:30am every day. Once the task is accomplished the user either says ‘reminder off’ or touches the clock to turn it off. That's it!  

A simple solution to organize your loved ones day without touching any buttons.  Remember meds, appointments, household and personal tasks, birthdays and much more! Reminder Rosie is your personal butler who notifies you, or someone you care for, of tasks without the high cost!

Rosie has already been adopted overseas by many people who are very low tech, have vision impairment, or have significant cognitive decline, including user’s aged over 100. 

Gary Rotman, Inventor of Reminder Rosie said “I invented a solution for my 80-year old father who was diagnosed with dementia and often forgot to take his medications and other daily tasks.  He ended up back in the hospital. I tested and tweaked the device over several years and started offering the device to others and Reminder Rosie was born! I had no idea at the time that there were millions of people worldwide that had similar challenges as my father.  High levels of hospital re-admittances, health care costs, avoidable deaths and caregiver stress result from poor medication compliance”.

Managing Director of TabTimer Reminders in Australia Jonathan Allott said “Reminder Rosie is an excellent addition to TabTimer’s range of assistive technology.  Personalised reminders in a loved one’s voice has shown to improve compliance more effectively than most task aids.  We are excited to make Reminder Rosie available in Australia for the first time and hope it will help more people live in the comfort of their own home longer, independently and with dignity”.
