THE MEDCENTER VOICE RECORDNING /TALKING CLOCK: HOW DOES IT WORK? The Voice Recording/Talking Alarm Clock or YourMinder by MedCenter allows users to prerecord and playback 6 reminders throughout the day. To turn off the repeating message, simply press the "Alarm Acknowledged Button" and the MedCenter Voice Recording Alarm Clock tells you when the next reminder will be. The easy set alarm is loud to ensure the message is heard and the large-type display makes viewing the date, day and time easy. The clock is developed to aid in remembering those daily tasks like taking medication, that it's lunchtime, to feed the dog or that a program you enjoy is ready to start. You record your own voice so the listener is familiar with who is speaking on the alarm. Since confusion as to what day of the week it is the YourMinder Clock emphasizes the "Date" rather than the "Day of the Week". The "Date" is a large visual display of the clock face.

In 2005, Martin Cooper began a project based on a simple idea; create a talking system of remembering your daily medications using the date of the month. Over the next two years, working with his team of designers and engineers, the MedCenter System was born. Lack of organization and forgetfulness are major factors in not taking medicines properly. Prescription medicines are an important part of managing your health. It's easy to forget to take them or to confuse the dosage time. MedCenter is a healthy dose of organization.
