The Sooner You Start, The Longer You'll Be Recognized — Stay Connected. More Years of Joy, Not Confusion.
Decline Varies from 5 to 25 Years Total. ~5 years forgetful (MCI), ~10 years Dementia.
1) Reminiscence Calls: Calls with Loved Ones (not just once or twice with a nurse) discussing memories on screen (see recent memories, then every minute Grow retrieves relevant memories) and presonalized cognitive prompts.
Combining Reminiscence Therapy's Emotional Depth & Cognitive Stimulation Therapy's Structured Prompts.
Reminiscence Therapy 1-on-1: Usually a nurse talking & showing old photos to Dementia patients once or twice a week. 24 Random Controlled Trials: "2650 participants. This meta-analysis shows that RT Significantly Improves Immediate and Long-Term Cognitive Decline" [Han et al., 2024 Neurological Sciences].
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy: Group sessions once or twice a week of Language, Problem‑Solving & Creative prompts. Moderate effect on cognitive function, small effect on quality of life and mood [Desai et al., 2024 Ageing Reserach Reviews].
2) Face + voice recognition (relying more on perceptual & emotional memory) persist longer than abstract text recognition, which rapidly fades.
3) Loneliness is a vicious cycle. Grow Lets You Stay Connected Today (Call Streaks + More Memories Captured & Shared) and for Many More Years in the Future. Loneliness independently predicts faster cognitive decline, 64% higher risk (Holwerda et al., 2014). Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention (2020): Social isolation is one of 12 modifiable risk factors, increasing dementia risk by ~50%.
4) Calling loved ones is a Habit That Lasts Well Into Dementia - often into late stage (Mom still speaks phrases that she commonlly used but pauses, vague words like "you know," "that thing"; she responds to voice, she responds to familiar presence & emotion) - because it's an emotionally reinforced, overlearned routine (procedural memories outside of the hippocampus, like brushing your teeth). Grow's Call Streaks reinforce this further, and easily 'Click Profile Pic to Call' . Patients think they can go out shopping, they think they're at home. They call their family saying they need to go home.
After using Grow for years, the habit of clicking on notifcations to hear messages may be preserved (but likely not as well as calls, that's why Memory Voicemail helps with neglect). Replying with a voice message - texting itself deteriorates rapidly, trying to type or read, holding a thought in your mind (working memory fades fast).
5) Ribot's Law: Older memories are last to go. When Mom thinks it's 20 years ago, even 40 years ago (can still be mid stage Dementia), showing your voice + face from that year Meets Mom Where She Is (+ changing your profile picture to your face from that year for her).
6) Frequent exposure over long periods can improve recognition and memory (Hebbian + spacing effect). Grow drastically increases exposure since the current daily method of connection is texting.

"Save it Grow." Never Miss Special Moments
Best Moments Go Unrecorded, little bits of life that Grandpa wants to hear about. We can't be in the moment if we're taking a shaky video (eating up storage), and we're too tired to write down the story/keep a diary.
Sound of the Moment: When your phone is close by, "Save It Grow" records the story Mom just told (last 10s to 10 min), or take a photo & Grow saves the sound around it, the laughter. Memory Recording is enabled manually or for dedicated sessions after work like 5pm to 11pm (you enable it the day before).
Instant Sharing, Hands-Free: "Hey Grow, send to family" after a photo of food Mom made or even "Hey Grow, send to everyone" (all individual loved ones, not groups) after you screenshot a funny cat meme. No more tapping menus.
Parkinson's makes it hard to use phones (2/3 get Dementia), voice-first design also supports Dyslexia, Stroke, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), TBI (Brain Injury), and ALS (preserve voice).

The Opposite of Roleplay Chatbots (Meta), or Control Anyone Deepfakes & Revival (Sora)
Unlike chatbots who pretend to be your 'friend' talking back & forth live, Grow searches ~10s for real memories, not trying to continue a converation like chatbots nor complimenting you at every turn "Your future self will thank you!"; and it's in chat so you both see, consequential, unlike chatbots you can turn off or reset.
When you find Mom's memories in the future, it's not a made up 'friend' nor a perfect time machine, but better: the 📖stories & 💖love she chose to share, for your future - intentional legacy respecting privacy & boundaries. So you can feel the laughter & whispers that defined her life, again.

Mission: Hold On To What Matters Most
When we forget, we lose parts of our life, we lose parts of our loved ones. What keeps us together is the memory of each other - 10 years, 20 years, 50 years. But human memory distorts heavily, so Grow helps us capture & remember more memories, more vividly. So that memories are not just a record of the past, but an active force of connection in the present.
🌿Energy Efficient: Less energy than 1s of 60W light blub = Grow Voice 5s generation (100W machine for 0.5s).
