Hey Product Hunt ๐
I'm Morten, one of the founders of Elsy.
My dad has dementia. I live in Singapore. He lives in Denmark, 10,000km away. Every call with him is a small audit of how much further the disease has moved. Did he eat today? Does he remember his appointments? Does he remember his friends? Did he sound like himself?
My co-founder Oleg and I started Elsy because we couldn't find a product that actually fit this reality. The market is full of "AI companions for seniors" built around loneliness. Loneliness is real, but it's not what dementia is. Dementia is memory slipping, routine collapsing, language thinning out, and families across time zones trying to piece it together from 15-minute phone calls.
So we built two things in one product:
For the parent: a voice companion they can talk to every day. Warm, patient, available at 3am when they're confused about what day it is. It helps with memory, conversation, and gentle structure.
For the family: a weekly wellbeing summary. Not transcripts (we think reading your parent's raw conversations is a privacy violation), but trends. How is mood tracking? Is engagement dropping? What are they bringing up over and over?
We launched on iOS and Android in 15 languages a few weeks ago. My dad is one of our heaviest users. Some days that breaks my heart. Most days it's the reason we're doing this.
Happy to answer anything: product, the dementia space, building voice AI for older users, founder questions. Hit me with the hard ones.
