Dana, a memory companion in development for dementia families

Field notes

The site describes a family-built record of photos, names, stories and wishes that Dana is being designed to draw on for familiar answers. Its staged-care concept shifts from the person's own phone or tablet toward a simpler home display and, later, familiar music, voices and photos; the family and care team are described as deciding when needs change. The homepage says the first pilot is limited to 15 families in Boston and Cambridge.
