We started with a moment most families know
A loved one looks up at someone who has known them their whole life, and doesn't know who they are anymore. That moment is devastating. It also doesn't have to be the whole story.
Memory ECō is a connected care companion for people living with Dementia and the families who love them. We're a small team based in Metro Detroit. We're not ready to say everything yet, but we're close, and we want the right families and care professionals in the room first.
A connected memory companion platform for Dementia patients and the families who love them.
In Michigan alone, more than 200,000 families are navigating Dementia right now. We're building something for them.

You are not alone
A mother who asks the same question four times before lunch.
A grandfather who reaches for a name he's known for sixty years, and it isn't there.
A spouse who is still present, but somewhere just out of reach.
This is Dementia. Alzheimer's is its most common form, and it touches nearly every family.
7.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today.
13 million loved ones are caring for them.
And by 2050, those numbers will nearly double.
WHY WE ARE BUILDING THIS
Someone I love is living with Dementia. I've also lost people I loved to it before I understood what it really takes from a family.
What I've watched isn't just memory loss. It's someone reaching for details that were there yesterday, a face, a conversation, a name, and coming up empty.
And the people around them, quietly carrying the grief of losing someone who is still right there in the room.
One day I was talking with friends, and I said: what if we built something in the spirit of 50 First Dates? Not a movie, something real. Something that could gently bring a person back to the people and the moments that matter most, every single day.
I came to this as an automotive executive, a first-generation immigrant, and someone who has always believed that belonging and connection are not extras, they are the whole point. When the people we love can no longer find their way back to us, something essential breaks.
Memory ECō is my answer to that.
Look around any room.
Chances are, nearly everyone there loves someone who has been touched by Dementia.
That's why this product exists.
For them.
For all of us.
