Video calling with Memory Lane
Video Calling

Let’s see how it’s really going, without a digital barrier for your parents

For caregivers, a video call is often more than just friendly contact. You see facial expressions, energy, environment, and mood. Memory Lane makes this possible on a calm screen with large photos and clear buttons.

For caregivers

Video calling that is not dependent on digital skills

When calling with a smartphone or tablet becomes too complicated, contact often disappears precisely at the moments you need it. Memory Lane is ready as a familiar photo frame in the home.

You call from the companion app. On your parent’s side, it remains simple: familiar faces, large buttons, and a screen that doesn’t need to be searched for, charged, or unlocked first. When picking up becomes difficult, the caregiver can help by taking the call for the parent.

Practical benefits

Why this provides peace for families

Answering for your parents

This is often the difference between having contact or not. If your parent does not see the button, hesitates, or reacts too late, the informal caregiver can help answer the call so that contact continues.

Recognition through photos

Memory Lane uses large photos and clear names. Your parent does not need to understand a contact list; the screen shows familiar faces.

Less explanation, less stress

No small icons, no passwords, no loose tablet. The photo frame is in a fixed place and can be set up calmly with only the functions that someone still enjoys using.

In practice

Made for daily contact, not for technology

  • Large buttons: calling, photos, and calendar remain visible and understandable.
  • Familiar faces: family members appear recognizable with photo and name.
  • Fixed spot in the house: the screen feels like a picture frame, not like a device that needs to be operated constantly.
  • Closed circle: only invited family members and trusted contacts can connect.
  • Growing with dementia: functions can be simplified when stimuli or choices become too overwhelming.
  • Control availability: someone can always be marked unavailable for video calls. This prevents unwanted calls and keeps Memory Lane calm when needed.

For families who want to drop in more often

Memory Lane makes video calling easier for both sides: you get more insight into how things are going, your parent gets contact on a screen that remains familiar and calm.
