Pictalk Buddy Watch arriving in October 2026: Autonomy on the wrist!
After months of development and testing, we are proud to announce the upcoming release of Pictalk Buddy Watch, our first application on a connected watch.
A concrete response to a real need
Following the regretted discontinuation of applications like PictoTask and WatchHelp, which supported over 10,000 people daily, we have decided to take over. Pictalk Buddy Watch is not just a simple adaptation: it is a solution specifically designed to meet the needs of people with ASD, Down syndrome, or other cognitive disabilities.
Perfect synchronization with your smartphone
Pictalk Buddy Watch works in perfect harmony with the Pictalk Buddy app on smartphones. Everything syncs automatically: schedules, sequences, and settings.
Features that change the game
Visual schedule for spatio-temporal cues
Create and easily manage schedules from your smartphone
From Pictalk Buddy, schedule weekly activities in a few clicks. Each event can be enriched with an image or a pictogram to facilitate understanding: medical appointment, sports activity, work time, lunch break...
Autonomy and real-time interaction
On the watch, the individual visualizes their schedule day by day in a clear and intuitive way. They can confirm an activity is completed or indicate refusal - these are instantly transmitted to your smartphone.
Remote monitoring to reassure
No need to be physically present to know everything is going well. You can track progress in real time and intervene if necessary, while respecting the autonomy of the person you are supporting.
Customized notifications and reminders
From your Pictalk Buddy app, create custom alarms and notifications: medication, toilet breaks, activity change... Each notification can be accompanied by a specific pictogram or image to facilitate understanding for the supported individual.
Guided sequences
Perform your daily routines directly from the watch with eight predefined sequences (brushing teeth, dressing, showering, etc.) plus your personal sequences. You can view images, pictograms, short videos, audios. All your Pictalk Buddy sequences are supported and automatically synchronized.
Emergency communication
Fifty-five essential pictograms and accessible days: courtesy messages (hello, thank you, goodbye, please), needs expressions (I'm hungry, I'm thirsty), emergencies: (I'm lost, I hurt, I don't speak...)

Why choose a connected watch?
Always accessible
Unlike a phone which can be forgotten or lost, the watch remains on the wrist.
Discreet and non-stigmatizing
Perfect for school, work, or social outings.
Focused on essentials
No distractions: no games, no web browsing, just the necessary assistance.
Accepted everywhere
Unlike phones which are often prohibited (IME, IMPro, ESAT), watches are well tolerated.
