New technology helping older residents stay connected

Tom Editor

Edna 91, from Ventnor, Isle of Wight, is enjoying seeing her grandchildren growing up, and staying in touch with family thanks to a new one-button computer.

Called KOMP, the device is linked to an app where family can share photos, messages and make video
calls directly to Edna in her room at Brynhill Grove.

My family live on the mainland so it’s a way of bringing all
ages together, it’s tremendous.
