Caller ID `On Steroids'
Context ID
Intel's Proactive Health Research Project
The Intel group's research showed that some people with Alzheimer's stop using the phone altogether for fear that they won't remember the person on the other line by name alone. So it came up with what manager Eric Dishman calls “caller ID on steroids.” Context ID, which can be incorporated into a TV or PC screen, or a small screen that looks like a photo frame, provides senior citizens with a photo of the person calling, a personalized diagram of how they know the caller, and a brief blurb on the topic of their last phone conversation.
