What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
Helen is a credit-card-sized clock that tells time and signals alarms and reminders through vibration instead of sound or sight. It has large, tactile buttons rather than pointers, so someone who is both deaf and blind can set their own alarms and timers. A speech function can also be turned on, which helps when communicating with caregivers or teachers. A separate vibration cushion comes in the box. Plug it in for the alarm, and the stronger vibration can wake a heavy sleeper. The small size fits in a pocket, which suits commuting or a busy day away from a desk.

What setup looks like
- With a guide
- Connect the included vibration cushion to the clock if you want a stronger alarm for waking up.
- Set the current time, then program alarms, timers, and event reminders using the large tactile buttons. Try each vibration signal to learn what it means.
- Turn on the speech function if a caregiver or teacher will use it too. Plan on about 30 to 60 minutes to set up and practice.
