Living with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a daily act of balancing numbers, medications, and lifestyle choices. It’s a condition that can touch many parts of the body, often leading to challenges with both vision and dexterity later in life. These common complications, like diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, can make even simple tasks, like using a standard smartphone, feel incredibly frustrating and isolating.

But what if staying connected, managing your health, and enjoying your favourite pastimes could be as simple as speaking to a friend? That’s where RealSAM steps in, offering a powerful, voice-first solution designed to help you reclaim your independence.

The Dual Challenge: Diabetes, Sight Loss, and Dexterity

Diabetes can uniquely impact daily life in ways that traditional technology often overlooks:

• Diabetic Retinopathy & Vision Loss: High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to blurred vision, floaters, or even severe sight loss. This makes reading tiny text on screens, navigating menus, or recognizing icons nearly impossible.
• Diabetic Neuropathy & Finger Mobility: Nerve damage, often affecting the hands and feet, can cause numbness, tingling, weakness, or stiffness (Diabetic Cheiroarthropathy). This dramatically reduces the fine motor control needed to accurately tap and swipe on a mainstream smartphone.
• Managing Complex Health Information: From checking blood sugar readings to remembering medication schedules and doctor’s appointments, diabetes requires constant vigilance. Struggling with a phone only adds to the stress.

These challenges combined can make a mainstream smartphone feel like a barrier, not a bridge, to connection and independence.

How RealSAM Breaks Down Barriers for Those with Diabetes

RealSAM devices are specifically designed from the ground up to address these specific issues, offering solutions where traditional devices fall short.

• No Tiny Buttons, No Confusing Swipes: Forget struggling with small icons or imprecise touchscreen gestures, as RealSAM is voice-operated. You simply tap the screen and talk, using natural language. For those with reduced finger dexterity or numbness, the single ‘tap and talk’ action is incredibly easy and reliable. It removes the need for fine motor control, reducing frustration and errors.
• Clear Vision, No Strain: the built-in Sight Assistant (magnifier) is invaluable. Point your RealSAM device at a medication bottle, a food label, or a doctor’s note, and your phone will read the text aloud clearly. RealSAM also provides clear, audible feedback for everything, making screen navigation accessible for those with any degree of vision loss.
• Health Management & Connection: RealSAM simplifies the day-to-day with a few key features. The Smart Reminders (easily set voice-activated reminders for blood glucose checks or upcoming appointments) ensure you stay on track. The instant communication helps you stay connected with simple voice calls, texts, and even WhatsApp messages.  Lastly, the ‘Be My Eyes‘ feature connects you instantly to a sighted volunteer via video call, making a meaningful impact on the way you navigate daily tasks and routines.

Reclaiming Confidence, One Voice Command at a Time

Living with diabetes doesn’t mean sacrificing your independence or connection to the world. Above all, technology should empower you, not complicate your life.

With this purpose in mind, RealSAM devices are designed with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with conditions like Diabetes Mellitus. By embracing a voice-first, simple design, we help you overcome barriers related to vision and dexterity, putting control and confidence back in your hands – and your voice.
