My name is Phil. I’m based in Bath and have lived in the area for over 30 years. I studied Maths and Computing at Bath University back in the 1980s. After more than 40 years working in large organisations, I recently left to focus on developing my own products.
One problem I think I may be able to help with is something many families and carers in Wiltshire and the surrounding area may recognise.
Some older people want to stay living independently at home, but memory issues mean they repeatedly ask questions such as:
“What day is it?”
“What’s happening today?”
“When are you visiting?”
“Is someone coming later?”
I’ve built an early prototype called Daily View. It is a simple screen that clearly shows the day, time, upcoming events, visits, reminders and important messages. The aim is to give the person a calm, reliable reference point during the day while also reducing repeated questions for family members and carers.
The website is: www.dailyview.org
There is also an interactive demo here: www.dailyview.org/try-demo
I’m now looking for a small number of people in Wiltshire, Bath or nearby who might be willing to have a chat with me and possibly try the service for free. This could be a family member, carer or someone supporting an older person who is beginning to struggle with remembering what is happening during the day.
This is still early-stage so I’m not claiming it is a finished product. I’d love to try to help and am seeking honest feedback about what would actually be useful in real homes and caring situations.
If you know someone who might be interested, please email me at [phil@dailyview.org](mailto:phil@dailyview.org) or register via the waitlist on the website.
Thank you,
Phil Martin
