Jury comments:
* This is a great concept and good product for Memory Care. The connection to residents' sensors is particularly unique and truly innovative....
Additionally, this could replace the bulletin board as each community can send activities and meal information straight to the residents' rooms.
* This product does innovate to address needs of the community and resident to provide attractive and meaningful wayfi nding and room identifi -
cation. Product is attractive and allows family, resident, and staff to curate meaningful imagery in a way that it tasteful and consistent.
* This is a product whose time has come. I love traditional curio cabinets, the bigger and brighter the better, but indeed they often are underutilized,
not kept current, or not used at all. This product defi nitely streamlines the process of personalization, allowing it to be unique, vibrant,
engaging and variable.
