With hörbert, older people who are overwhelmed by the functionality and complex controls of modern devices rediscover the joy of experiencing music and stories. They don’t have to be afraid of “breaking” anything or making adjustments. Especially for people with dementia, devices must be intuitively operable. Just like hörbert. Our products combine two worlds. On one hand, they can be controlled from the outside with a simple press of a button or turning the knob. Inside the electronics are intelligent functions that can be tailored to the individual needs of seniors. And these adjustments can be made by seniors or their relatives via a convenient web interface.

“hörbert is exactly what I have been looking for for my grandmother for a long time – a simple mp3 player with direct playlist selection :) that doesn’t cause tech anxiety in an elderly woman. We have now assigned the buttons (playlists) with various genres; however, her favorite button is the one that has original sound documents from earlier times and childhood stories told by her children. She has had the Hörbert for 10 days now, but has already thanked me by phone at least 4 times…”
Biographically relevant songs and music in the life of a person with dementia evoke positive feelings and can motivate this person to actively participate in life again. Self-esteem, courage, and joy of living are strengthened. In close collaboration with professionals in the care sector, our products for people with dementia were developed, such as our memory card editions “Care” and “Care Plus”. Biographical movement songs for participation, folk songs for singing and playing music, the most famous evergreens from youth, word puzzles for guessing along, and much more activate memories and ensure re-engagement with life. Of course, all the memory cards in our products can also be loaded with individual favorite songs, stories, or—thanks to the integrated recording functions—even with personal voice messages or a musical greeting from loved ones and relatives.

Opening a device to change batteries or replace them can be quite quick in individual cases, but in everyday life for some seniors or even in nursing homes, it presents a real challenge for the nursing staff. Our music players for seniors offer a USB-C port, through which they can be operated with a conventional USB power adapter at the socket. Meanwhile, batteries are charged if there are any in the charging device and they are empty. This way, our devices can also be used mobiles and are not tied to the socket.
