De BeleefTV Senior has been specially developed for elderly people suffering from dementia. Playing games, listening to music and talking about the past are all activities that stimulate the brain and the senses. De BeleefTV makes all this possible in a positive way. With more than 350 applications, De BeleefTV offers a wide range of specially developed activities, games, movies and music.
Would you like to experience the effect of De BeleefTV on your residents?
The motto of all games on De BeleefTV is: taking part is more important than winning. By taking a positive approach, the residents of care institutions experience ‘moments of happiness’. This makes people less aggressive, passive or restless. With almost every game on De BeleefTV you can choose from different levels, so everyone can participate and have the opportunity to achieve success. When success is achieved, compliments are given. This adds to the feeling of happiness.
Important moments in our lives are often linked to music. It is therefore not surprising that music is one of the last things that the brain forgets. Music is therefore almost indispensable in creating a pleasant atmosphere in the care institution. Music can be used for relaxation, distraction or just to activate the residents.
Many elderly people with dementia have a reduced short-term memory. According to the ‘law of rewinding memory’, after a while the long-term memory of the person suffering from dementia also begins to crumble. This happens from back to front: the memories of the most recent years are lost first, the memories of childhood last. As a result, people do not remember, for example, what happened yesterday, but sometimes they remember things from fifty years ago.
De BeleefTV helps to start a conversation by offering topics from the past. A study by the University of Hong Kong even shows that people with dementia who are given the opportunity to talk about the past feel better than those with whom only small talk is discussed
Various talking pictures with matching questions, old commercials and the news from the past with the recognisable polygon sound. These are all possibilities that are offered on De BeleefTV. And if you want to make it more personal, you can easily show private photos, videos and music from the past on De BeleefTV.
De BeleefTV provides valuable daily activities that guarantee fun and positive stimulation of the brain. The various games challenge the clients both mentally and physically. In this way, the brain and motor skills are stimulated in a pleasant way.
De BeleefTV is not only a useful way of spending the day, it is also proven to be effective on the behaviour of residents and clients.

85% of the clients show positive emotions when using De BeleefTV.
Positive emotions can be seen in happiness, positive surprise and proud behaviour. There is a noticeable difference in the expression of happiness when De BeleefTV is used in groups. From this we can conclude that De BeleefTV also contributes to the positive atmosphere in the department.
While using De BeleefTV, more than half of the clients show proud behaviour. This shows itself, for example, after winning and completing a game. The reward sounds of De BeleefTV mainly receive many positive reactions, such as applauding and complimenting. De BeleefTV only works with a positive approach. If a client or resident does something wrong, ‘nothing’ happens. When something is done well, this is being rewarded.
Thanks to its user-friendly interface, De BeleefTV can be easily adapted into the daily care routine. De BeleefTV contains a lot of activties, games such as puzzles, memory, memories, videos and pictures from the past. The BeleefTV offers all this in one device. Not only the staff involved in activities benefit from this, but also the family members, who have countless opportunities to get involved with their beloved family member and improve social interaction. Playing with grandchildren, reminiscing and looking at photos from their latest holiday, for example. Everything is possible.
De BeleefTV contributes in a positive way to behavioural changes of clients with dementia. 79% of the clients show more active behaviour when using De BeleefTV. Research has shown that De BeleefTV triggers both positive and negative emotional affects. These are emotions that are normally reduced by apathetic behaviour. The use of De BeleefTV made these emotions visible.
De BeleefTV contributes significantly to the connection between care workers and clients. Because of the visual and auditory content of De BeleefTV, the majority of the clients take more initiative to start a conversation based on their interests. Care workers mention that they even discover new interests of clients by using De BeleefTV.
Many people who suffer from dementia worsen due to a lack of activity. De BeleefTV offers interactive applications that both stimulate the brain and train the motor skills. Many care homes mention the participation of clients who would otherwise never take part in any type of activity. De BeleefTV is welcoming, arouses curiosity and has applications for every level of your care facility. This varies from conversations about the past to basic stimulation that brings a smile to the resident’s face. “I’m here, look what I’m doing – I can reach for stars and butterflies follow my hand”. It makes the client proud, which motivates him/her to use De BeleefTV more often.

The BeleefTV has been developed in such way that it only works with a positive approach towards patiens. If the patient gives a wrong answer, nothing happens. But if the answer is right, he or she will be rewarded! The following applies to all games on De BeleefTV: participating is more important than winning! You will not be punished for the things you cannot remember, but only rewarded for the things you can still do or know!
The screen of the activity table is a high-quality, multi-touch screen. This meets the high demands of everyday care and support. Adapted to the target group, the screen is shock-resistant and has a splash-proof surface on which a glass of water can also spill without causing any problems. The touchscreen is ideal for group work: Firstly, because of its size, as you can sit at it like at a table with several other people. Secondly, because of its fast reaction time and the twelve simultaneously detected touch points.
The activity table can be used throughout the facility and is easy to move around. The whole house benefits from this: from the various living areas to the communal and therapy rooms to the residents’ private rooms.
The activity table can be tilted through 90 degrees with two simple handles and can therefore be used as a table or board. The special feature is that the screen can be locked every 15 degrees and can thus also be used with a slight tilt – making it very wheelchair-friendly and ideal for individual care.
The user-friendly operation of De BeleefTV makes it easy to use for caregivers as well as volunteers, relatives and visitors. No special technical skills are needed to use the activity table. The activity table is equipped with a powerful ThinClient. In addition to the installed software packages for the De BeleefTV, this enables equally secure Internet use.
The HDMI connection turns the De BeleefTV into an external screen. De BeleefTV is unbreakable and mobile. This makes it an ideal playback medium for video chats with relatives and presentations for service meetings, for example. You can also use De BeleefTV as a television or presentation screen.
What people say about De BeleefTV
after a FREE test week
Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel
University Hospital BrusselsWe were amazed at how quickly our patients got away with the touch-screen system that allowed several patients to work on one screen at the same time. The different types of applications offered by De BeleefTV allowed us to reach and excite the patients in a new way. Patients and other colleagues asked us on a daily basis when The BeleefTV would be coming out again.
We experience a lot off happy moments.
Joachim Anna eekhoorn pimpelmeesWe experience a lot of happy moments. Play activity with residents one-on-one or in groups. Listening to music. Looking back at the holiday destinations of the residents. Using the BeleefTV, conversations are started in the group. This allows you to get to know the resident better. You can’t wish for a nicer purchase!
