Memoir-Creation
MemoirEase empowers seniors and caregivers to capture and share cherished memories with ease.
1
Step One: Record a Memoir
Begin by recording audio narration of memories using the mobile app, saving stories to your account.
2
Step Two: AI Transcribes & Enhances the Stories
The platform transcribes and transforms recordings into engaging formats like videos, music, and images to enrich your storytelling. This is accomplished using the latest Gen AI tools that bring the audio recording to life – in structured text, cover images and more.

Step Three: Connect & Share
Family and friends can explore the senior’s memoirs in various formats – AI chatbot, timeline, chapters of their life, based on locations and more. They share the stories and provide feedback, adding to a robust collection of life stories that deepen connections and preserve memories for generations to come.
Early Dementia Detection
Early cognitive decline rarely appears first in formal assessments. It emerges gradually in the way older adults structure stories, recall details, or express emotion. Across LTCs and retirement homes, staff and families recognize these early changes long before BIMS or MoCA scores – which only capture occasional snapshots, with no longitudinal insights.
MemoirEase guides seniors with caregivers through short weekly storytelling activities. These recordings are analyzed using an AI engine that detects changes in language, narrative structure, and vocal biomarkers associated with early cognitive changes – while simultaneously building an engaging digital memoir that strengthens family and social connections.

This creates both a rich qualitative record and a quantifiable cognitive trendline, combining emotional value with clinical relevance.
For maximum effect, the platform recommends the same topics at 6-month intervals, in order to compare changes in similar stories over time.

MemoirEase Evaluates:
- Episodic memory degradation
- Lexical variability
- Sentence structure and complexity
- Confabulation and gap-filling
- Timeline/sequence errors
- Emotional expression changes
- Vocal biomarkers (pauses, tremor, hesitations)
This provides an early-indicator signal months or years before traditional tools typically flag concerns.
