Problem
Older adults often face increasing difficulty keeping track of daily appointments, routines, and the meaningful details of their own life stories. Typing-based apps and complex menus are barriers for people who are not tech-savvy, and family members who live far away struggle to stay involved in day-to-day care and shared memories.
Solution
Elsy is an AI voice companion that lets older adults simply talk on their phone, with no typing or menus required. The app retrieves and announces the day's reminders, and it captures life stories through natural conversation, writing them down in the user's own words and adding pictures. Users can listen to each story told by Elsy, with selected parts in their own voice, and ask for changes at any time. Family members can be invited in at chosen levels: they can hear stories, add reminders like a new medication schedule, or help Elsy keep personal details accurate.
Target Audience
Primary users are older adults who want help with daily routines and memory preservation, as well as their adult children and grandchildren who wish to stay connected and support care from a distance.
