Learn about the different features this digital clock has that many doctors recommend for their patients.
Talking Madi is not just a regular clock with basic features but an innovative tool that is changing the lives of hundreds of seniors and their caretakers. In comparison with other voice alarm clocks, Talking Madi allows users to set a different reminder for every task, such as taking their medication, walking their dog, or simply reminding them that they are loved and doing a great job.
In 2015, a narrative review about the ability of older people with dementia or cognitive impairment to manage medicine regimens concluded that “as cognitive impairment progresses, the ability to plan, organise, and execute medicine management tasks is impaired, leading to increased risk of unintentional non-adherence, medication errors, preventable medication-related hospital admissions and dependence on family carers or community nursing services to assist with medicines management” (1). Talking Madi, Orka Product’s revolutionary and life-saving tool, was designed to help elders and their families navigate past the difficult challenges life presents.
With a client-orientated and personal approach, this clock is widely recognizable and recommended by doctors due to its unique, functional and practical features. Below find more information about why doctors recommend Talking Madi’s attributes to assist seniors and their caretakers.
Memory Assistance
Talking Madi provides users with eight separate and fully customizable reminders, where families can record loving and reassuring messages to help them succeed with daily tasks, as well as reminding them that everything is fine.
Several studies agree that memory training in patients with short-term memory can significantly improve their condition. Stephanie Moore and her colleagues released a research study in 2010 analyzing this factor which concluded that “a memory training programme can be beneficial for patients with mild to moderate AD (Alzheimer’s disease) to improve some aspects of memory and behaviour. Ultimately, behavioural interventions in conjunction with pharmacological therapies may optimise functional ability and provide a framework to further enhance cognitive function in patients with dementia” (2)
By establishing important reminders at the same time every day, such as for taking medication, seniors can exercise their memory at home and help significantly improve their condition.
Maintaining A Routine
The clock’s customizable features can help seniors establish and independently maintain proper physical, medical and social routines on their own. Many elders with short-term memory rely on their families to take care of them, which in the long term can become quite a struggle; Talking Madi assists both the user and their relatives to achieve healthy lifestyles.
Further, a recent article released in 2019 titled “Technology and Dementia: The Future is Now”, concluded that “technology can also contribute both directly and indirectly to caregiving, reducing demands on families and formal services, which are major contributors to the economic costs of dementia.

This beautiful, yet all-inclusive talking alarm clock with multiple functionalities was created to help those with memory loss, vision impairment, and hearing impairment maintain their wonderful life.
