What is the WatchMinder?


The WatchMinder is a simple wristwatch that can easily be programmed to set up discreet vibrating reminders throughout one’s day.  Invented by a child psychologist, the WatchMinder was designed to aid children with Attention Deficit Disorder (AD/HD) and others with special needs in staying focused, managing their time, and modifying their thoughts and behaviors.  To use the WatchMinder, simply:

  1. Choose from 65 pre-programmed reminder messages which range from “Pay Attention” to “Be Positive” to “Relax” to “Take Meds”
  2. Choose either a fixed time or time interval when you want to be discreetly cued with your message
  3. Put the WatchMinder on and allow it to discreetly cue you through your day!

 

How is the WatchMinder different than other watches or PDA’s?


The WatchMinder is unique in several respects:

  • It Vibrates! – Because a beeping reminder can be disruptive in the classroom or workplace, the WatchMinder was designed with a unique vibration system which allows the watch to discreetly cue the user with a light vibration on the wrist. 
  • Interval Training Mode! – In addition to allowing the user to program set reminders throughout one’s day, the WatchMinder can be concurrently programmed to discreetly cue the user on set or random time intervals.  For example, a student with AD/HD might program the watch to remind himself to “Pay Attention” every 30 minutes between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM.  Or, a parent might set up a program for his or her ten-year-old to remind him or her to “Be Positive” every hour from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
  • It’s Simple and Programmable! – Unlike many high-tech watches and PDA’s which require a computer to program, the WatchMinder features simple on-screen programming.  The WatchMinder is appropriate for smaller children and can be worn discreetly in the classroom.
