What Beta Families Say
"MessageBoard is great at helping my mother to stay calm during the day. She used to worry all the time when she didn’t know what was happening. Now I can keep her constantly updated, even from work."
"My dad has lost his ability to use technology after getting Covid, and is too deaf to use a phone. He has to spend hours sitting in an armchair while I’m at work. With MessageBoard, I’m now able to tell him the carer will be late, remind him to take his medication, etc. He doesn’t even need to touch the tablet: the new messages just appear."
