According to the Alzheimer’s Association, approximately 5.8
million Americans have Alzheimer’s dementia, with one in ten people
over the age of 65 diagnosed with the disease. The number of people
with dementia is expected to increase rapidly as the proportion of
the population 65 and older increases. The American Psychiatric
Association reports that approximately one percent of the
population has an intellectual disability.
The RAZ Memory Cell Phone consists of one primary screen, and
one screen only. It is always on and includes pictures and names of
up to six contacts and a button to call 911. That’s it! There are
no applications or settings to cause confusion. No notifications or
operating system updates. No distractions. Users can simply tap and
hold the picture of the person they wish to call.
Caregivers manage the RAZ Memory Cell Phone through a simple
online portal. The portal is used to create and edit the contacts,
track the location of the phone/user and select certain options,
such as the option to restrict incoming calls to people in the
user’s contacts, thereby avoiding unwanted calls such as predatory
robocalls.
The RAZ Memory Cell Phone can now be ordered at
