Mumstation

A digital display aimed at older people with Dementia or Alzheimers which tells them what time of day it is and what they should be doing today.

Behind the scenes a Google Apps Script project connects to a Google Calendar, and serves it over HTTP to a Raspberry Pi. This means that a carer can update the display remotely from their phone so that the person being cared for always knows what they should be doing, and as a result can delay the point at which they have to go into care.
