September is World Alzheimer’s Month. That’s why Mark Alyn talks with the inventor of Rosie 2.0.

It’s been called a senior’s Alexa or Google Home. It’s a SiMPL Technology solution for memory loss patients and their caregivers.
Rosie is a talking alarm clock that allows family members and/or caregivers to record reminders in their familiar voices to remind memory loss patients to take their meds, eat meals, keep important appointments and more. Hearing these messages in a familiar voice has been shown to deliver the highest level of medication and task adherence. Rosie’s high adoptability by cognitively-challenged patients is due to its ease of use, said inventor Gary Rotman, whose father’s dementia inspired him to create the Rosie. Rotman serves as COO for SiMPL Technologies.
