A Smart Assistant for Families Living with Dementia
Suggestions
Val gives suggestions to each member of the village based on routines, time of day and emotional needs. If it’s morning, the caregiver will see a reminder for medications and sleep logging. If it’s been a while since their last Caregiver Journal, Val will check in on their mood, and if it looks like your loved one is a bit down, Val can recommend that you create a new Moodshifter to send them.
Actions
Val learns about your loved one with dementia through vocal and facial biomarkers in order to better comfort them. If Val starts to see a pattern of sundowning in the early afternoon, a Talkstory can be triggered independently to soothe and redirect.
Coordination
Need help with a ride somewhere or help picking up groceries? Val manages logistics by texting family and friends to arrange rides and help with daily tasks. No longer does everyone need to have a Vallige account to offer support. You can just give Val their phone number. Val makes sure to text one person at a time and will let you know when someone has accepted your request.
