keyboard with keyguard helps people who type with a single finger or a pointer in three ways:

  1.  The small size of the moisture-resistant keyboard (9" wide by 5.75" tall) reduces the distance that someone has to reach to access all the keys.
  2.  The keyguard fits between the keys and prevents simultaneously striking two keys next to each other.
  3.  The keyguard is slightly taller than the keys to allow resting your hand on the keyguard without activating keys.

The app allows the individual to set their own schedule for when the service will check on them (via Push Notification). If the individual fails to respond to the message in the appropriate amount of time, friends/family are immediately alerted. This ensures that help is never far away for those in need.

Available in the AppStore for $2.99 and on Google Play.
