TOP 10 Siri Commands for Memory Loss, Dementia, Early-Stage Alzheimer’s

[@user-hb1wm4hi6y]

Thank you for providing this very important video and free PDF. I have been following you for a long time, and you have the most informative tech videos on KZbin. Also, your presentation skills and speaking voice is great -- you should be on TV, especially with your beautiful eyes ;-) Love your Pride flag too! Visibility is important.

[@drdel76]

David, I believe you have just presented us with a new and important genre of KZbin technical instruction with tremendous potential. Today’s smart devices are capable not only of enriching our lives, but of saving them. Respect to experts like yourself who are willing selflessly to show us how. Thank you.

[@glendawolfer151]

As a senior who loves tech, memory has become an issue. So this video is so important not only for myself as well as members in our family who live miles away. So thanks for your time and concern. Glenda Wolfer

[@FemaleVillageElder]

I just found this channel and although I am a frequent Siri user that was actually a tip on here that I didn’t know. As I am getting up in years myself and sometimes forget about my medicines the ability to take a picture of the correct medicine to add to my reminder is pretty awesome. Please continue to make Siri videos whenever new features calm especially those that benefit the elderly. I am programming my device now to do all the stuff that I hope not to forget but May. Thanks again. You have a new subscriber.

[@tommacbride3654]

Wonderful! These could be life saving!! I am going to pass this around, hope it’s contagious. Cheers!

[@marcikr53]

I am continually amazed at your ability to communicate the how’s, why’s and when’s of Apple technology. I am so grateful.

[@funcarsnow5973]

Thank you! We're at the beginning of serious memory loss and your presentation is brilliant! I doubt you'll see this but I'm thanking you anyway...

[@suzzzig]

Thank you David. We lost my mom in July and my dad is by himself. He called me and told me my uncle, who is also by himself, had fallen and it took him three hours to get to the phone to call for help. My dad resents the "I have fallen and can't get up," and doesn't want that type of an alert product. He has an IPhone and loves Siri. He knows how to use, "hey Siri," but has not set up find my, nor realized Siri could help him with this. This is huge and so appreciate the avenue for help for both of us without emphasizing negatively his aging. Thanks again!!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Always love watching your flawless delivery and inject them with your great sense of humor.

[@jackiputnam9207]

I have Alzheimer’s and this helped me so much!!! Thank you ❤

[@forresthaggertychannel4301]

I love it!

[@jedwardoo]

Have a safe trip and enjoy your time in Madrid!

[@lauriescherrer4450]

Thank you! As a person living with dementia and an Apple user I really appreciate these tips. I THOUGHT I knew how to use Siri, but you taught me that in reality I knew very little. Your tips will be extremely useful.

[@khill50able]

Well done David. Many of us nowadays could use many of these tricks.

[@cat6898]

Outstanding, so useful to share with people in our lives...thank you

[@fastbobby504]

Could be one of the most useful and thoughtful KZbin videos I've ever watched! Thank you!

[@PlantLover111]

Very helpful!!! I’m in the early stages of Dementia. I’m going to try to start using these features.

[@hellerjerry]

i did fall outside on street and Siri knew immediately....so that feature works perfectly

[@19gotcha68]

Simple and perfect ... thank you

[@Teresa-K]

Very important and necessary tips! Thanks for bringing this information to KZbin.

[@lpmorrow]

Once again, David, I owe you thanks, and will be sharing this widely. A close family member was Dx'd w/ Alzheimer's 15 years ago. Had this technology and - equally important! - your clear explanation how to use it been available, it would've saved us much worry and pain. You've saved lives with this.

[@vlad.vision]

Fantastic video David! All of these commands are very useful, loved #1! These are the type of things I think more users should be more comfortable using! Great demo, I too have a family member who could greatly benefit from this. Thank you!

[@jazzmoo4u]

David, Great video! Lots of good ideas! Thanks!

[@Lutzboater]

Excellent video. Somewhere this info is going to save someones life. Thanks for sharing it.

[@lookingupwithwonder]

You are awesome! Funny, very informative.

[@murphyrp01]

Excellent thought starting video

[@rbrown2895]

Excellent tips everyone can use!

[@Alan2Bordeaux]

What an excellent video! Great work!

[@troythexrayboy]

Great job David!

[@nickpatterson9330]

Shared to FaceBook. David, thank you for doing this.

[@larrygrasso6032]

David I just wanna say thank you thank you thank you.

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

This is an incredible video to help many of my elder relatives and myself. I can imagine senior care centers where all of the people yelling out hey Siri or Alexa! Those who adapt will begin to call their family and friends Siri & Alexa. :-)

[@mikeeccleston8620]

Absolutely brilliant video. This has given us peace of mind for a relative with MCI.

[@tkcromwell]

David, you have such a great manner in front of the camera. Great balance of information and humor, paced nicely. Thank you so much for doing all you do!

[@ro-cl2do]

Great video and so useful for many of us. Thanks!!

[@johntenopir2088]

This is an 'A+'.

[@partiallyblind2]

Wonderful and timely information!

[@EloizaClaire]

I need to remember to tell David, that he is v. funny. And that I laugh a lot watching him.Therefore, that helps me to remember what he taught me. Thank you very much David.

[@lyriccrafters]

This is awesome! I struggle with short-term memory loss daily. Thank you for putting this together!

[@diestage2026]

Great video! Very informative! Didn't know how to make Siri of some help nor have any use for Siri shortcuts (now an app in itself). More power!

[@annamaymeade2125]

Hi David, This is great information and I look forward to sharing this with my family and friends. See you soon.

[@stdror]

Great, thanks.

[@nightingalesolo2270]

Great subject, well presented. "On Speaker" is something that needs to be spread far and wide. Apple should get behind this.

[@fenilpatel5017]

nice very use full for everyone

[@phoenixvj8824]

Thank you for these information. Middle age person dealing with memory issues after Covid here. I think it is good to start familiarizing myself with all these functions, so hopefully they will become a natural for me to use them when I “really” get old later 😅

[@ralphwoodard609]

This has got to be one of the best videos you have done so far thank you.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Awww thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback!

[@TropicalEnterpriseLLC]

@@TechTalkAmerica the viagra joke was on point 🤣

[@us276056]

As always, another fantastic training video! Always enjoy listening to your videos. You are a seasoned teacher and definitely know how to keep your audience engaged to the topic at hand. Thank you for taking the time and resources to inform us of these valuable tools available to us!

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Thank you for recognizing my efforts. 🙏

[@Annalorraine2x]

Thank you

[@francesowens1985]

Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I both have memory issues and these tips are so useful. I just subscribed to you.

[@johnnyzmusic]

Hey David, once again you've provided some wonderful info. Kudos to you.

[@DavidBishopinc]

Well done. Great information.

[@gramamg100]

Great job David I’m just starting as a career for my wife so I’m having to learn how to setup an iPhone and watch so that I can monitor her and she can make phone calls. I would have thought Apple should be thinking about this in the future. A simple call for help could run a script and dial a carer on speaker automatically. Thanks for your efforts.

[@cindybarker2938]

Thank you. 👍

[@michaelwdefausell3335]

Great video. Great content. Thank You.

[@leafnovice7492]

Thanks David. A great little bit of public service broadcasting ! There could be a series in this for you.......! Seriously 'though, it's tremendous stuff, so keep up the missionary work.

[@9999hopalong]

Excellent video which has some brilliant suggestions for using Siri for those suffering from memory impairment.

[@michaelkelly6583]

brilliant ... and funny. Thank you.

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

Nice job! Thank you

[@garywell1052]

I wish that Siri was available as my mom was Aging. Most helpful...thanks

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

These were very helpful tips , thank you so much ! I have Multiple Sclerosis and my memory has suffered greatly, being only 49 that can be embarrassing 🙋🏻‍♀️ .

[@rogangranite]

Thank you this is Very informative I shared it with my wife and we are going to get an Apple Watch for our parents.. Good work

[@markedelman9128]

Very Good!

[@rheaton78]

Awesome video man!

[@roberthiday3342]

This is a great one. Thanks for doing this.

[@JohnPawseySPF]

Brilliant!

[@tnwanda1963]

What a great video! Thank you!

[@Shelacy]

Invaluable info...thank you so very much!

[@neil9251]

Didn’t know the “On Speaker” command at the end. That’ll also be handy for making hands free calls.

[@mgkroth]

Thanks for creating this video. Even though I'm not suffering from memory impairment, I'm getting older and find myself forgetting things more often. I learned some really useful tips. These tips will be great for my parents also, if I remember to tell them :)

[@BellaNC]

This is so informative! Thank you for all the tips to utilize Siri for elders (which includes me!)

[@taxangles]

Very informative, as well as, entertaining. I laughed out loud a few times. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others.

[@TheTipsyRooster]

Look at you, all "Steve Jobsed" out with that turtleneck! AMAZING video BTW... thank you for shedding light on something that most people didn't know existed!

[@JJCoxUTube]

David, it’s been a while, good video as always. Here are a few more items for you to think about in a follow up video. Set up relationships in contacts so you can say things like, “Hey Siri, call my son”, “Hey Siri who am I”’, “Hey Siri, how do I get home”, ‘Hey Siri, show me where I am. (at this point you can share your location, etc. Another very important feature to make sure is filled out (you touched on it with the 911) is in the Health app (available on the iPhone and shared in sync but independent of the iPhone on the Apple Watch [a copy is kept on the watch and the phone does not need to be present] is the individuals MedicalID information. So, emergency personnel can easily get the name and age, medical conditions, Allergies & Reactions, medication, dosage of medicine, Blood Type, Height, Weight, Emergency Contacts doctors name, number, Relation name and numbers. (This is a must have for anyone to have filled out). The Fall Detection of the Apple Watch will also after calling 911 will call your Emergency Contacts with an auto message. I hope this helps if not you someone else reading this. I hope none of this will be necessary or needed to be used by your loved one or anyone’s loved one. Enjoy your time in Spain.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

There are more videos of similar topics coming soon. People have short attention spans these days and so there is some pressure to keep it short and sweet.

[@JJCoxUTube]

- I understand, and am looking forward to more. Thanks and enjoy.

[@mikemiles3068]

Loved your video❗️BUT I am 73 years old and I don’t remember what it was about❗️Thanks anyways❗️👍✅

[@fasbe9]

I love your classes! Really helps me, please keep it going. I'm unemployed right now, however: when I get it together I will send some $$$ your way.

[@JMJWill]

You may add for those in need of assistance going to the bathroom to prevent accidents getting there in time. This would also be great if Apple would develop sensor to be placed in depends that alerts on iPhone or Apple Watch. Getting old isn’t easy, being PC.

[@barbarachandler4430]

Hey David, thank you for this, I'm sorry you have someone with dementia. I work in an assisted living, memory care. I also teach a class for new hires, Id like to have this available for family members who would benefit. I will pass on the info and where ti find you. Im always telling my I

[@mantisweb]

Very helpful indeed. I didn't know you could do so much with siri. By the way, I'm sure it's been pointed out to you but number 3 and 8 on you Top Ten Siri Commands PDF are exactly the same.

[@nonrevhogan8938]

Let’s see a tour of current room and ideas on new room...

[@VickiBowers]

Bless you. Brought tears to my eyes. And YES, thank you for the squeaker substitute for "Hey Siri." 😂😂😂 Thank you, thank you, thank you for these great tips. I'll be sharing this video. Thank you.

[@esthermofet]

Interesting choice of the pill photo... but, uh, that's not a blood pressure medication. Although applied appropriately, it might conducir al embarazo. That said, these are all reminders that someone might keep on the back of a business card. Particularly the "...on speaker" appendix. Hugely helpful.

[@amhjetten]

Wonderfull, I live in the Netherlands and some of the optioneel are limited here 😡. But I realy leurned a lot, thank you and keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@soniasteckert6988]

Great!

[@DCGerry]

Thank you for this video! I hope you will make additional videos in the future to help seniors learn how to use technology to make their lives better. 🤗

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Thank you so much. That's the plan. Trying to make the connections to make that happen.

[@SaintOrCinema]

You ROCK 🎉🎉🎉

[@mayflowerlash11]

Thanks for this good advice. I hope to never need it but if I do ...

[@mlc2]

you are amazing! thanks a lot..

[@cheryliverson6327]

How do I find my phone? I am always loosing it in my house or leaving it in my car. What is the best way to take picture s of important documents? I photograph everything right now, but I am sure there are better apps. I take photos of business cards, appointment cards, and small handouts or directions. I am younger and have memory loss not from dementia, but it is important to be able to function. I print copies of directions from google maps or similar so that I dont have to be able to see it on phone while driving. I use the calander in my iphone and put everones gift list on the iphone. the other thing that i do is take a picture of a screen shot or email a link to my friends so that i can find it on the sent list. I was wondering what is the best device to locate a person in a box store or grocery store. the person wants some independence, but can get lost or overwhelmed sometimes.

[@Nonduality]

Well, we know what medication YOU'RE on. Hey, thanks for the further education.

[@PaulButtpwbutt]

How do you user the Find Me command if you have used Find Me and you get a dfferent screen up when adding name

[@gloriabernal4515]

Our memory-challenged family member has a Samsung phone. Android obviously. Do you have a similar tutorial for those users and care-givers?

[@dagwood1327]

Here is some positive feed back. I’m positive the little blue pill is a blood pressure pill. LOL. Love the content of ou channel.

[@gurvirgrewal2762]

you are awsome

[@herenowjal]

Thanks for this GREAT video (and PDF) ... How do I use "FIND MY" to locate my wife who is using an older iPhone 6+ (w/ only FIND MY IPHONE) ? Thank you for ALL your amazing (& informative) videos ... (These are GREAT KARMIC seeds you are planting !!!)

[@garypillischafske1425]

Wow! For us old foggies you nailed it. Thank you David, so very much. I do have a question tho. When you have your phone or tablet on with "find me" does that give your location to the world? I'm a little paranoid about such things I guess. Great job and thank you for helping!

[@TechTalkAmerica]

You're very welcome. That feature you're referring to only shares it with the people you select. You're just basically enabling the setting initially and then choosing who has access to it.
