It makes it easy to video call an older parent, a grandparent or a loved one with IDD on their tablet or TV, with nothing for them to set up and nothing for them to press. Their screen can answer your call automatically, so you see them in seconds and get instant peace of mind. Joy works with your loved one's favorite device: • JoyTablet – turns an everyday tablet into a simple, always-on way to stay connected. Use a tablet you or they already own. • JoyTV – a small device that plugs into their TV, for calls and photos on the biggest screen in the house. JoyFamily is your control center. From your phone you can: • Make video calls that can be answered automatically on their tablet or TV • Meet Joy, their friendly AI assistant and companion, who chats, answers questions and keeps them company between calls • Set up reminders for medications, appointments and daily routines, shown on their screen and read aloud by Joy • Schedule check-ins with Joy and video check-ins, so you know how they are doing each day • Send text messages and short videos straight to their screen • Share family photos and manage their photo slideshow on JoyTablet, including how long each photo shows and when the clock appears • Invite siblings, grandkids, friends and support staff so everyone can stay in touch • Share YouTube videos, join Zoom visits, and sign them up for Live Events & Classes • Control their TV and schedule Night Mode, depending on their device Who it's for: • Adult children and spouses caring for an older loved one • Families and support staff caring for adults with IDD • Long-distance families who want to stay close • Senior-living communities, group homes, home-health agencies and IDD service providers Getting started takes a few minutes: 1.
