BESTSELF

Alzheimer's is a vicious disease that steals away the most precious parts of a person's identity. Those suffering can find themselves feeling isolated and afraid.

But what if we could preserve those pieces somewhere safe?

Imagine if a patient could carry their voice in their pocket - one that would always advocate for their needs. How would their lives transform?

An advocate with your voice

BestSelf is a digital duplicate of individuals experiencing dementia and Alhezimers that preserves their essence. The process involves creating a comprehensive recording of the user’s life and history, referred to as an Aiography.

The Aiography serves as the foundation for the BestSelf app, powering it with the user’s voice, memories, and distinctive personality.

The BestSelf app operates on a flexible spectrum from simple assistant to full-time advocate, adapting according to the progression of the disease.

  • EARLY STAGES

    ASSISTANT

    BestSelf is a useful digital assistant that manages calendar invites, organizes notes, and sets reminders. It can also play music and movies, search the web, and send texts or make calls. BestSelf learns and adapts to your routines and preferences for a personalized experience.

  • MIDDLE STAGES

    AUGMENT

    BestSelf serves as a memory aid, using information gathered from daily use. It reminds users of their schedules, important events, key people, and places, improving daily life. BestSelf reflects the user, preserving their sense of independence while offering support.

    Most importantly, by keeping the user active and social, they can slow the progression of their disease.

  • LATE STAGES

    ADVOCATE

    On good days, BestSelf discreetly informs users who they are talking to, where they are, and what they are doing.

    On tough days, BestSelf speaks up for the user's needs and wants, helping them feel comfortable. Selecting satisfying meals, engaging activities, and familiar music.

    Family members also benefit, being able to communicate with their loved one in a way that is familiar and comforting.

  • Maintaining clients’ daily routines not only keeps them more active and engaged but also fosters social interactions—both of which are well-known factors that contribute to slowing the progression of various diseases. By encouraging regular activities and connections, we can help enhance their quality of life and promote overall well-being.

  • BestSelf deeply understands and appreciates a client’s unique individual tastes and personal preferences. This insight can serve as an invaluable and helpful reminder to caregivers regarding which specific activities or tasks a client would particularly enjoy and benefit from most.
