The dual-screen journal concept has been designed by Arushi Srivastava and Soham Chatterjee as a solution for seniors as a way to help them stay connected and mentally sharp. The unit is imagined to look just like a conventional journal, but opens to reveal dual displays that maximizes capability while also having a somewhat familiar profile. The journal can be used by the person to partake in activities that can help with their memory, share with family and friends, and much more.
The dual-screen journal concept is paired with intuitive controls that accommodate for a senior's motor skills by allowing for touchscreen capabilities or use with a stylus. The unit can also be used for entreatment and writing to make it a truly multifunctional device.
