Pictalk Buddy Watch arriving in October 2025: autonomy on the wrist!
After months of development and testing, we are proud to announce the upcoming release of Pictalk Buddy Watch, our first smartwatch application.
A concrete response to a real need
Following the regretted discontinuation of apps like PictoTask and WatchHelp, which accompanied 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 TSA, Down syndrome, or other cognitive disabilities.
With or without phone
Pictalk Buddy Watch works in perfect harmony with the Pictalk Buddy smartphone app. The watch does not need to be connected to the phone constantly, only once or twice a day for synchronization (morning/evening).
Features that make a difference
Visual schedule for spatiotemporal references
Create and manage the schedule easily from your smartphone
From Pictalk Buddy, schedule weekly activities in just a few clicks. Each event can be enriched with an image or pictogram to facilitate understanding: medical appointment, sports activity, work time, lunch break...
Autonomy and real-time interaction
On the watch, the person can see their daily schedule clearly and intuitively. They can confirm an activity is finished or refuse to do it - information you receive instantly on your smartphone.
Remote monitoring to reassure
No need to be physically present to know if everything is fine. You can monitor progress in real time and intervene if necessary, respecting the autonomy of the person you are supporting.
Custom notifications and reminders
Create tailored alarms and notifications via your Pictalk Buddy app: medication intake, bathroom break, activity change... Each notification can be accompanied by a specific pictogram or image to aid understanding for the supported person.
Guided sequences
Perform daily routines directly from the watch with eight predefined sequences (brushing teeth, dressing, showering, etc.) and your personal sequences. You can read images, pictograms, short videos, audios. All your Pictalk Buddy sequences are supported and automatically synchronized.
Emergency communication
Twenty-five essential pictograms and accessible days: polite messages (hello, thank you, goodbye, please), needs expressions (I'm hungry, I'm thirsty), emergencies: (I'm lost, I’m hurt, I don't speak...)

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
