  • I admit, my reply does not truly fit here but I think this is the best place (in the current state of this topic) to make a point I think is important and difficult to navigate

    I do think individuals state of mind, intentions and actions are the way to bring about change but I also think it’s important to not fall into consumerism-patterns.

    Like how recycling or buying an electric car is pushed as a solution for climate change when what’s needed is global cooperation and policy change wrt resource management.

    The positive individual actions we can take do make our own lives and the lives of the people around us better and we get a stronger, more resilient local community.

    By building that strong community we do get a platform to launch ourselves towards the greater society we live in to demand change either by reform or revolution (depending in what’s possible and/or most adequate).

    See for example this Community building post in the Betterment and praxis community.









  • Thank you, it is evident that I’m having trouble to define my needs and wants in this domain. I’m learning a lot.

    Your idea is rather opposite of what I’m looking for and I apologize for not being clear enough.

    It is my understanding that many of these devices are health focused but I’m not looking health stuff unless it can be relayed to and used by her professional caregivers.

    I’m looking for a wearable basic phone to receive and make calls.


  • Thanks!

    Yes, for sure, it’s a little bit of both.

    I will try to configure DND mode for her, but I’m not sure it will be enough, but it is worth a try.

    The other problem about carrying it around is more difficult. She doesn’t manage to carry her alarm around using a lanyard (it will be changed to a bracelet, this change is what triggered the idea to get her a wrist-phone too), so I can’t imagine she will carry around her phone either. Maybe with a nice bag? Worth looking into.

    Anyway, thanks for the DND suggestion, I will start with that.
