What’s New — June 2026: The Caregiver Companion App
The biggest update in Luka’s history. From a phone — anywhere in the world — caregivers can now see the room live, speak through Luka in a cloned family voice, run activities, set reminders, and configure Cognitive Guardian™. Included free with every Luka Bear.
The Caregiver Companion App. A sitter in your pocket.
Until now, Luka was a great companion in the room — but the caregiver had to be there. The Companion App removes that. From a phone, anywhere in the world, a caregiver can see the room, speak in their own cloned voice, play personalized music, run activities, set reminders, and be alerted only when needed.
Luka handles it first. If it can’t — it calls you.
Live Camera — From Anywhere
An on-demand check-in of the room from any network, anywhere in the world — with a LIVE badge, movement status, and time since last interaction. Auto-reconnects if your phone sleeps.
Speak Through Luka
Type any message and Luka says it in the room — in Luka’s warm voice or any cloned family voice, chosen per message. The patient never answers a phone; they just hear Luka.
Family Voice Library
Record 30–60 seconds once, or upload a voice memo — Luka clones the relative’s voice in about a minute. That voice is then available everywhere: messages, photo visits, and nighttime comfort.
Photo Visits
A pop-in visit from anywhere: your photo appears on Luka’s screen while Luka delivers your message in your cloned voice. They see your face and hear your voice — without answering anything.
Video Messages
Upload clips they can watch on demand — the grandkids’ soccer game, a birthday hello, a family message. Play full-screen on Luka, delete anytime.
Send a Talking Message
Create a short video of a loved one’s face speaking your words in their own cloned voice, played right on Luka’s screen. Every message is saved for instant, free replay; consent is confirmed for each person and every video carries an “AI-generated” label.
Music From Your Phone
Nine genres — Gospel, Classical, Jazz, Oldies, Hymns, Sinatra, Big Band, Country, Relaxing — or type any song or artist. The fastest way to calm or lift a mood, from anywhere.
Reminders & Schedules
Send a one-off reminder now, or manage daily medication and appointment schedules that run automatically — even when you’re offline. Add, change, or remove anytime.
Cognitive Guardian™ — Remote Setup
Configure sundowning calming, bedtime wind-down, and nighttime calming support from your phone — including every word Luka says at each escalation step, and which family voice it uses.
Daytime No-Response Alert
The quiet-day safety net. If they haven’t interacted with Luka for the hours you set, Luka gives you a quick call.
27 One-Tap Activities
Six voice games, six brain exercises, twelve wellness routines, and quick comfort — show a family photo, calming reassurance, a gentle check-in. Every activity starts and stops with one tap.
Full Profile Control
Biography, comfort topics, what to avoid, favorite music, daily routine, family members, photo album — everything editable, anytime, from your phone. No computer, no technician.
4-Tap Setup + Facility PIN
Wi-Fi → alert contact → resident profile → done. An optional admin PIN locks setup and care configuration for facilities with rotating staff, while everyday staff use Talk, Music, Games, and Wellness freely.
Private by design. Encrypted in transit.
The camera, the voice, and everything about your loved one stays inside your private circle. Bank-grade encryption in transit over an invitation-only private connection — no public web address, no open ports, no link anyone could stumble onto. Only the devices you authorize can connect.
Included free with every Luka Bear — every model, every plan. No app store needed: open your private secure link and tap “Add to Home Screen.” It works like a true full-screen app, on any phone.
Built from real caregiving. Designed for real results.
Luka Bear is a complete caregiver-supported platform — not a toy, not a medical device. Everything below is a shipping capability of every Luka Bear, whether at home or across a memory care wing.
Cognitive Guardian™ Patent-Pending Remote Setup
Most AI companions go silent at night. Cognitive Guardian does the opposite — it stays present through the night and gently escalates comfort step by step until, only if needed, it calls you. NEW: configure everything from your phone — including the exact words Luka says.
- Sundowning calming and bedtime wind-down, each on its own schedule
- Nighttime calming escalation: your words → calming music → a family voice → a call to you
- Daytime No-Response Alert — Luka calls you if the day goes too quiet
- Designed to reduce 1:1 night sitter hours in facilities
Caregiver Companion App New
Everything in this list — from a phone, anywhere in the world. Live camera, speak-through-Luka, music, reminders, activities, photo visits, video messages, and full Cognitive Guardian configuration. Included free on every plan.
- See the room live over an encrypted in transit private connection
- Speak through Luka in your own cloned voice — per message
- Be alerted only when needed — a quick call from Luka whenever it needs you

One device. An entire wing. Patent-Pending Voice Setup

- Up to 25 resident profiles on every Luka
- Create new profiles by voice: “Create a new profile for [name]”
- Voice-activated profile switching — no login, no app
- Add profiles anytime for $10/month each
Voice Cloning™ — a loved one’s voice Voice Library
Most technology speaks in a stranger’s voice. Luka speaks in the voices the resident loves most. Record scheduled comfort phrases once — and NEW: with the Family Voice Library, clone a relative’s voice from one 30–60 second recording, then type any message in that voice from the app.
- 15 / 30 / 50 scheduled phrases by model
- Family Voice Library: clone once, speak any message — via the app
- Used in reminders, photo visits, and nighttime comfort
- Deeply personal — families call it the moment that changed their mind
How Cognitive Guardian™ works
Three separate helpers plus a quiet-day safety net — each on its own schedule, each configurable from the Caregiver Companion App. Turn on the master switch, enable the ones you want, and write every word Luka says.
Sundowning Calming
Proactive comfort during late-afternoon confusion, on its own schedule — supporting calm before restlessness escalates.
Bedtime Wind-Down
A short calming routine a set number of minutes before nighttime — easing the transition to sleep.
Nighttime Comfort
A quiet, calming presence overnight. When your loved one stirs, Luka the 4-step escalation below — ending, only if needed, with a call to you.
Daytime No-Response Alert
If they haven’t interacted with Luka for the hours you set, Luka gives you a quick call — the quiet-day safety net for the day shift.
Your Written Words
When your loved one stirs at night, Luka responds with reassuring words — written by you, spoken calmly: “It’s nighttime. You’re safe at home.”
+ Calming Music
If movement continues, Luka repeats your reassurance and adds calming music to gently settle the moment.
+ A Family Voice
Luka speaks your words in a chosen cloned family voice — the voice they love and trust most, exactly when it matters.
A Call to You
Only if distress continues does Luka calls your phone, with a max-calls-per-night cap you control.
Every word, voice, and time is yours to set — and change — from your phone.
Important: Cognitive Guardian is a non-medical assistive workflow designed to support caregivers. It is not an emergency response system and does not contact 911. For medical emergencies, call 911.
63 core features. Plus the Caregiver App — free.
Every Luka Bear ships with the full platform — cognitive games, wellness routines, family photos, voice setup, photo scanning, reminders, safety alerts, and the Caregiver Companion App. The only differences between models are screen size, max profiles, and Voice Cloning phrase capacity.
Caregiver Companion App New
From a phone, anywhere in the world: live camera, speak through Luka in a cloned voice, music, reminders, activities, and full Cognitive Guardian™ configuration. Encrypted in transit, invitation-only. See everything it does →
Live Camera — From Anywhere Updated
On-demand check-in of the room from any network, anywhere — over an encrypted in transit private connection with no public web address. Auto-reconnects, with on-screen movement and last-interaction status. Only people you authorize can connect.
Photo Visits & Video Messages New
A pop-in visit from anywhere: your photo on Luka’s screen, your message in your cloned voice. Plus on-demand video clips — a patient with dementia can’t reliably answer a phone, but they can respond to Luka.
Voice-Driven Profile Setup New
Caregivers create new resident profiles entirely by voice — no app, no website, no technical setup. Say “Create a new profile for [name]” and start talking. Setting up 10 residents takes 30–60 minutes total.
Photo Scanning & Album New
Scan any printed photo by voice — say “scan this photo.” Luka auto-identifies people, labels meaningfully, batches several photos per session, then plays them back as a voice-controlled slideshow. Patent-pending.
Emergency Help Alert Updated
Luka recognizes 30+ emergency phrases — “Help me,” “Call for help,” “Send help,” “Call 911,” and more. Luka responds to spoken words only — it does not detect falls or medical events. Reliable delivery: an automated voice call from the Luka Bear number. The caregiver is always reached. Active even during Nap Mode. (Always call 911 in a medical emergency.)
Life Story Memory & Personal Q&A
Knows each resident’s career, family, hometown, and hobbies. “Where was I born?” — therapeutic for long-term memory that remains intact.
15 Emotional Wellness Routines
Evidence-informed, voice-activated support tools — anxiety, sundowning, loneliness, sleep support, guided breathing. 24/7, zero staff required. Not medical interventions.
20 Cognitive Games & Brain Exercises
6 spoken games + 8 touchscreen games + 6 verbal brain exercises. Engagement throughout the day for every ability level. All startable with one tap from the Caregiver App.
Movement Safety Alert
Detects unexpected standing or movement, responds with calming verbal guidance, then calls the caregiver. Optional feature — requires caregiver opt-in.
Medication & Appointment Reminders Updated
Per-resident schedules — manageable by voice in the room or remotely from the app. Smart Medication Confirmation — Luka announces, listens for “took it” or “done,” and reminds again in 15 minutes if no response. Nap-Safe Reminders — saved during Pause Mode, delivered when the resident wakes.
Verbal Reminders
Set, cancel, and list reminders entirely by voice — no app, no buttons. Supports one-time, daily, and repeating schedules. “Remind me to take my pills at 8 AM every day.” Luka announces the reminder on schedule.
Visual Awareness — Face Recognition
Luka can remember and recognize residents by face. Enroll entirely by voice — say “remember my face” — with multi-user storage and optional auto-greeting at startup. No app required.
Enhanced Voice Capture
Optimized for soft, slow, and fragile elderly speech. Extended 15-second listening window, low-volume sensitivity, and adaptive detection — residents are heard the first time, without “repeat yourself” frustration.
Nap / Pause Mode
Pause active listening for naps or quiet hours by saying “Pause” or “Nap time.” Emergency help detection stays active. Medication and appointment reminders that fire during pause are saved and delivered when you wake — nothing is lost.
Family Photos & Memories
Caregiver-uploaded family, birthday, wedding, and anniversary photos — displayed with guided conversation support. Add photos straight from your phone with the Caregiver App.

My father has Alzheimer’s. Luka talks to him in the middle of the night so I can finally sleep. It changed our lives.
Luka has become a genuine part of our residents’ daily routine. The evenings have felt calmer for several of our memory care residents.
As a family member and caregiver, I was skeptical. But seeing Luka call out names in family photos, play her favorite music, and stay calm through difficult evenings — it changed my mind completely.
