About ONSCREEN
We collaborated with ONSCREEN Inc. to develop innovative video calling devices and apps aimed at reducing loneliness among seniors. Compatible with iOS, Android, and Android TV, the system directly brings video calls, health check-ins to the TV — a familiar and easy-to-use device for elderly users.
Founded by Costin Tuculescu, Andrew Blue, and Jerry Norton, the project blends simplicity with emotional connection, offering individual and enterprise-level tools to help seniors stay connected, supported, and engaged.

BUILD YOUR IDEA
The idea for the ONSCREEN smart communications app came from a simple thought: most seniors are comfortable using their TVs but find phones and computers hard to use. This project was made to turn the TV into an easy way for seniors to stay in touch with their family and friends. It helps them make video calls, get reminders, and check in on their health, all without knowing much about technology. The goal is to make seniors feel more connected and supported in a simple and friendly way. To deepen this connection, the system supports voice prompts and visual signals designed for seniors with limited vision or hearing. It’s not just a product — it’s a lifeline that strengthens emotional bonds while addressing day-to-day challenges in elder care.
Many seniors experience isolation, and using complex communication devices can be challenging. The client needed an easy-to-use solution where video calls and text messages could be accessed directly through their TV. The app also needed to feature automated health check-ins and virtual meeting access while offering a simple setup process. Enterprises, such as senior care organizations, additionally required a web-based platform to manage communication across multiple registered devices for their senior clients. This solution would be part of a growing need for apps for elderly care that prioritize simplicity and accessibility.
