Pictalk Buddy Watch, 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 for a smartwatch.

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 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, Trisomy 21, or other cognitive disabilities.

Without or With Phone

Pictalk Buddy Watch works in perfect harmony with the Pictalk Buddy app on smartphones. The watch does not need to be constantly connected to the phone, only once or twice a day for synchronization (morning/evening). 

Link Watch and Phone

Features that make a difference

Visual scheduling for spatiotemporal cues

Watch Events

Create and manage schedules easily from your smartphone

From Pictalk Buddy, schedule weekly activities in just a few clicks. Each event can be enriched with an image or an icon to facilitate understanding: medical appointment, sports activity, work time, lunch break...

Autonomy and real-time interaction

On the watch, the person visually accessible visualizes their schedule day by day in a clear and intuitive way. They can confirm that an activity is finished or indicate that they refuse to do it – information that you receive instantly on your smartphone.

Remote monitoring to reassure

No more need to be physically present to ensure everything is going well. You track progress in real time and can intervene if necessary, while respecting the autonomy of the person you are supporting.

Customized notifications and reminders

Watch Alarms

From your Pictalk Buddy app, create tailored alarms and notifications: medication intake, bathroom breaks, activity changes... Each notification can be accompanied by a specific icon or image to facilitate understanding for the supported person.

Guided sequences

Perform your daily routines directly from the watch with eight predefined sequences (brushing teeth, dressing, showering, etc.) and your personal sequences. You can display images, icons, short videos, audios. All your Pictalk Buddy sequences are supported and automatically synchronized.

Sequences Watch

Emergency communication

Emergency Communication

Twenty-five essential pictograms and accessible days: politeness 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 smartwatch?

Unlike the phone which can be forgotten or lost, the watch stays 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 help.

Accepted everywhere

Unlike phones which are often banned (IDE, IMPro, ESAT), watches are generally tolerated.
