Kitcal
A tablet for seniors to stay connected with their families
Kitcal® is a specially designed tablet that helps our senior generation stay socially connected to their whānau and friends.
Kitcal® allows the senior generation to stay socially connected to all of the great things their friends and whānau are doing. The Kitcal® tablet is simple and intuitive by design, from its clear layout and large buttons to its easy-to-use emoji replies. Remote access to the Kitcal® tablet enables support from family and caregivers via their app, even when they can’t be there.
With five intuitive features, Kitcal® is the simplest way for senior Kiwis to virtually connect with their nearest and dearest. Two-way ‘check in’ and ‘request a voice or video call’ feature. Receive text messages from friends and family via their mobile app. Friends and family can share photos and videos to the Kitcal® tablet. Appointments and reminders on the Kitcal® tablet are added remotely. Includes an inbuilt user guide.
