At Hearing Good, we understand how profound it is when a loved one is dealing with dementia. This condition presents many challenges, both for the person themselves and for their loved ones. One of the biggest obstacles people with dementia face is losing sense of time. This can lead to confusion, anxiety and disorientation, which greatly complicates daily life. The Bbrain Dementia Clock was developed to address this problem. This innovative clock not only provides a clear overview of time, but also helps with reminders and daily scheduling, creating a reassuring routine for both the user and their caregivers. In this blog, we discuss how the Bbrain Dementia Clock works and what benefits it offers for people with dementia.
What is the Bbrain Dementia Clock?
The Bbrain Dementia Clock is specially designed to help people with dementia and cognitive decline get a grip on their day. This clock goes beyond a traditional clock with hands or numbers. It provides a clear, easy-to-read display that shows not only the time, but also the day of the week and the time of day (such as morning, afternoon, evening or night). This helps users better understand their time and reduces confusion, especially for people who have difficulty distinguishing between different time periods.
What makes the Bbrain Dementia Clock truly special is the ability to set reminders for important daily tasks. These can range from medication intake to meal times, but appointments or other activities can also be entered. By displaying these reminders in a visual and auditory way, the clock helps the user experience their day in a structured way.
The importance of time awareness in dementia
People with dementia often have difficulty understanding and remembering time. This can lead to a lot of confusion and stress. For example, they may think it is the middle of the night when it is still noon, or they may forget that it is time to eat or take their medication. This loss of time awareness can even lead to dangerous situations, such as repeatedly leaving the house at inappropriate times or forgetting important tasks.
The Bbrain Dementia Clock addresses these challenges by providing a constant visual reference. The screen is large and clear so the user can see at a glance what time of day it is. This helps them get their bearings better and provides reassurance, knowing where they are in their day.
How does the Bbrain Dementia Clock work?
The Bbrain Dementia Clock is designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The large, clear display not only shows the exact time, but also provides additional information, such as:
- The full day of the week (for example, “Monday”).
- The time of day (such as morning, afternoon, evening or night).
- Date and month.
This information is presented in a clear way so that it is easy to understand for people with cognitive problems. In addition, caregivers or family members can easily set reminders via the clock. These reminders appear on the screen and may be accompanied by a sound signal to remind the user that it is time for a particular task.
Reminders can be set for various daily actions, such as:
- Taking medication.
- Eating times.
- Doctor’s appointments.
- Activities such as hiking or visiting family.
The flexibility of the Bbrain Dementia Clock makes it a valuable tool in supporting the daily routine of people with dementia.
Benefits of the Bbrain Dementia Clock
- Clarity and simplicity
The greatest benefit of the Bbrain Dementia Clock is its clear and simple display of the time and time of day. The clock is designed to help people with dementia better understand their surroundings, reducing confusion and disorientation. - Reducing stress and anxiety

The Bbrain Dementia Clock provides reassuring structure by helping them understand the day and reminding them of important tasks at appropriate times. - Improved daily routine

The clock is easy to operate, both for the user and those around them. Reminders can be easily set through an intuitive menu, and the clear display allows the user to process the information quickly. - Visual and auditory reminders
In addition to showing reminders on the screen, the Bbrain Dementia Clock can also emit an audible signal to attract the user’s attention. This is especially useful for people who may forget to look at the clock or need some extra guidance. - Support for caregivers
Not only do people with dementia benefit from the Bbrain Dementia Clock; their caregivers benefit as well. The clock helps automate important tasks and reminders, so caregivers have less to worry about forgetting appointments or medication intake.
Who is the Bbrain Dementia Clock suitable for?
The Bbrain Dementia Clock is primarily intended for people struggling with dementia or other forms of cognitive decline. However, it is also a valuable tool for people with memory problems, such as the elderly who struggle to keep up with their daily routine.
