TING What it might do

Through-Life (before dementia, before death)

Make your own “TING” to pass down to your partner, children and grandchildren.

Create messages, ideas, wisdom, memories, peculiarities…craft how you would like to be remembered.

Familiar experiences brought back to life:

During Dementia

Have your own though-life "TING" engage with you.

Play a favourite film or TV programme.

Have "TING"s from family and friends on call.

This is just an idea, it may be a bad one. If we got the right kind of help and there was a demand we could connect the TING to alert family or support systems if it detected something untoward. Thinking about this one and there are probably systems that already do this.

After Death

Read a bedtime story to your grandchildren.

Have a conversation

Remember a moment together

"TING" Minder

These are just ideas that are up for grabs.

Already mentioned the alert thing.

"TING"s themselves could be connected.

"TING"s could monitor things like social networks under the control of the family.

"TING"s could be made to record confidential activity locally under the control of the family.

"TING" Evolution

We really need input on these ideas.

Just because something is possible doesn't mean we should do it.

We need a dignified security model.

We can expose the "TING" as read-only to allow approved extensions access.

We need lots of things.

Hence we need your help if you got this far and are up for it.

So staying with our canine theme here's one used on a thank you to St David's Hospice Care for their brilliant care of my wife.

"Snoopy dancing in the rain" symbolises joy and resilience in the face of challenges. It reflects Snoopy's ability to stay dry and continue dancing, even in adverse conditions as we must.
