Grand Remote

proposed to NHS Digital

Grandparents and children both enjoy a quick chat, but often live too far apart for regular opportunities. Older people also have challenges with remote technology such as IoT, security devices, or media systems. You can solve both problems in one, with a new universal remote that establishes a voice channel to an available grandchild who can help complete a control function through network redirection, automation or scripting of commands while also providing a little social contact. Your remote app should be highly usable by people with visual, motion control and memory impairments, while also being compatible with a wide range of IoT and media devices.
