Skylight Frame Helps Americans With Alzheimer's Connect With Loved Ones

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Skylight is a consumer IoT platform that thousands of families around the world use to share photos with loved ones. Skylight's flagship product, Skylight Frame, is a connected digital photo frame that allows everyone in the family to send a loved one photos to the frame instantly, from anywhere.

In recent conversations with customers, members of the Skylight team uncovered a new use case for the product; helping those with Alzheimer's better connect with loved ones.

Arlene, a new customer, received a Skylight Frame as a gift from her daughter Alison. She suffers from Alzheimer's and has a hard time with technology, so Alison wanted to gift her something that would help her stay in touch and remember her old memories.

Arlene recently moved from the West Coast to the Mid-West. Her grandchildren and the rest of the family are scattered across the country, therefore making it hard for them to stay connected. From seeing the twin babies grow up, to remembering old stories, Skylight has helped Arlene be present and in touch with family.

Skylight has been helpful for tapping into Arlene's long-term memory despite her Alzheimer's! Her daughter will often send her old photos, which usually provoke a story.

"We'll look at the photos of her family and friends from her childhood or events from decades ago and she'll tell me stories as if the events happened yesterday. This brings her so much happiness!" Allison said.

This use case is not limited to Arlene. Older Americans who have trouble with other electronic devices are increasingly using Skylight as a way to connect with their kids and grandkids.

Skylight is available for purchase at http://www.skylightframe.com and on Amazon.com.
