Therapists, coordinators and families
We were initially attracted to the SilverPad because of its senior-friendly apps and multilingual content. Indeed, we have found it to be a suitable and engaging tool for our seniors. The wide range of activities, from memory games to reaction games appealed to seniors with different preferences. With varying difficulty levels in the games, seniors could attempt those that they were comfortable with or build up their confidence by progressing through the levels. Most importantly, all the seniors enjoyed the activities and some also overcame their fear of using a digital tool.
SilverActivities has been widely used in our day care & rehab centres, either as an individual or group activities. The SilverActivities has a wide range of cognitive games which are suitable for all levels of cognitive impairment from mild to severe. With the app it's easy for the elders to touch & play, also it auto grades from easy to difficult stage matching to the elders ability. Since the pictures are locally relevant & the elders were able to relate themselves and participate well.
My mother only speaks Tamil and not tech savvy. So having a tablet with Tamil language and simple user interface helps her enjoy the benefits of the internet. SilverPad is very useful to simplify usage by elderly and also manage the contents remotely by family.
Our elderly clients enjoys the games as they are stimulating and interesting for them. They feel happy and satisfied that they use up a new gadget. Helps therapist to engage clients cognitively while they use Standing frames and Tilt tables for standing during rehab. Recently we recommended to our new OT colleague who started to use for her clients too!
Every weekend when I visit, I'll sit and use the SilverPad with my grandmother. The SilverPad and it's Cognitive games helped my grandmother and I develop quality time together. The games keep her mind active and focus, it also builds a sense of accomplishment when she is able to complete the various levels. The SilverPad is an easy-to-use and engaging device. It's empowering for the old and intriguing for the young.
