Large text and big buttons

EATING WELL AS AN OLDER ADULT

Eating well gets harder when meals take more effort.

Appetite and thirst often fade with age, so older adults can eat and drink too little without noticing, which raises the risk of dehydration, weakness and falls. Chewing, cooking, shopping, eating alone, small screens and tiny buttons all get in the way, and family members helping from a distance want to know how things are going without taking over.

Small buttons and tiny text get in the way.

How Aster helps

Every action is a large button with words beside the icon, and the text starts large.

Family and helpers want to pitch in.

How Aster helps

Helper mode lets someone note for you, and every note says who added it.

Typing is a chore.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is there a separate Aster app for iPhone?

No. On iPhone, Aster is a program inside Pippa Companions. Download Pippa Companions, open it and pick Aster. Aster isn’t on Android yet. On Android, Nomi covers the same care, with a companion.

Does Aster tell me what to eat?

No. Aster does not diagnose nutrition problems, set food or fluid amounts, or replace help from a clinician.

Does my care team see everything?

Only once you connect to a participating program with a code or invite. After that they can see what you note in the app, and you can stop sharing at any time. Nothing is watched in real time.

Is this an emergency service?

No. The app does not monitor your notes in real time. If you need urgent help, call 911 or your local emergency number.

What does it cost?

The app is free to download. Noting, asking for help, your care team and your history never depend on a payment.
