A familiar voice, whenever it's needed.
Familiar lets people living with dementia talk with a loved one's voice, even when that person can't be there.
Get updates"Hi Mum, it's so good to hear from you. Tell me about your morning."
How it works
Simple for the person living with dementia, and in the family's hands from start to finish.
A loved one records their voice
A family member or friend answers a few short questions, and Familiar learns how they sound and what matters to them.
One tap to talk
The patient presses one button and simply talks. There are no menus and nothing else to tap. Familiar listens and replies in that familiar voice.
Caregivers stay in the loop
Caregivers can look back at past conversations and get an alert if their loved one mentions pain, a fall or trouble breathing.
Built with care
Familiar is designed around the needs of people living with dementia and the families who support them.
Gentle, dementia-aware conversation
Short, warm sentences. It never argues or corrects; it gently redirects, the way trained caregivers do.
Private by design
Voices and conversations are processed by open-source AI that we run ourselves, not sent to outside voice companies.
Comfort between visits
For moments of loneliness or anxiety, when the people they ask for are at work, busy or far away.
Affordable for families
Planned as a simple monthly plan for families and care homes, with no per-minute charges.
