Cognitive Guardianโ„ข โ€” Evening & Night Calming

Most AI companions go silent at night. Cognitive Guardian does the opposite โ€” it stays present, responds gently when your loved one stirs, and calms in small steps before it ever calls you. Think of it as an extra set of ears overnight โ€” not a replacement for in-person care. NEW: every helper, schedule, and escalation message is now configurable from the Caregiver Companion App โ€” including the exact words Luka says.

๐ŸŒ… Daytime Cognitive Guardian

  • 20 brain games for fun and engagement
  • Word, number and memory games, played by voice
  • 12 wellness routines plus quick comfort moments
  • Simple daily activity summaries for the family (where enabled)
  • No-response check-in call โ€” if there’s no interaction for the hours you set, Luka calls the caregiver
Games are for fun and engagement. They are not a test, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for professional medical evaluation.

๐ŸŒ™ Nighttime Cognitive Guardian

  • Evening and night calming routines
  • Late-afternoon calming and bedtime wind-down โ€” each on its own schedule
  • 4-step night escalation: your written words โ†’ + calming music โ†’ + a cloned family voice โ†’ a call to the caregiver
  • Max-calls-per-night cap, set by the caregiver
  • Gentle orientation prompts (“It’s nighttime. You’re safe at home.”)
  • Caregiver notification by phone call
Not an emergency response system. Does not contact 911. Alerts are optional and configurable by the caregiver โ€” every word, voice, and time is yours to set from your phone.

๐Ÿ”„ Activity Summaries for Caregivers

  • A simple picture of how Luka was used, day and evening
  • Helps families and care teams plan routines together
  • Shared with the people you choose (where enabled)
Designed to support caregiver coordination and routine planning. Not a diagnostic tool and not a substitute for professional assessment.
๐Ÿ“ฑ

Caregiver Companion App New

Stay close from anywhere. Until now, Luka was a great companion in the room โ€” 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 live, 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 โ€” it calls you.

Included free with every Luka Bear ยท No app store โ€” open your private link, tap “Add to Home Screen”

๐Ÿ’ฐ An extra set of ears โ€” not a replacement for in-person care

Luka does not replace a sitter, a nurse or your own visits. It fills the hours in between: it keeps your loved one company, speaks in your family’s own cloned voices, supports up to 25 profiles, and phones you when your loved one says they need help.

$129 / monthMonth-to-month โ€” cancel anytime
$599 + $79 / monthOwn It โ€” buy the device, lower monthly service
โœ“ Current pricing. We confirm your price when your Luka is ready to ship.
๐Ÿ“น

Live Camera โ€” From Anywhere

An on-demand check-in of the room from any network, anywhere in the world โ€” with a LIVE badge, movement status, and time since last interaction.

Auto-reconnects if your phone sleeps. Your caregiver link is private and protected by an access key, and a log shows every time the camera view is opened.
โœ“ Check in from work, vacation, or across the country
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Camera Access History

Total transparency on who has viewed the room. A log under the live camera shows who is watching right now, plus every past view โ€” who, when, and for how long.

Even remote “Luka Support” views are labeled, and every view is written to a tamper-evident record. Nobody views the room without it being on the books.
โœ“ You always know who has seen the room
๐ŸŽฌ

Activity History โ€” Clips While You’re Away

When Away Monitoring is on and Luka notices a big movement in the room, it saves a short video clip (no sound) and gives you a quick call from Luka Bear โ€” so you can see what happened even when you’re not there.

Each clip includes a few seconds before the moment. Clips are kept in the cloud and deleted automatically after 7 days โ€” or sooner, whenever you delete them. There is no 24/7 recording.
โœ“ See what led up to a moment โ€” later, on your own time
๐Ÿšถ

Away Monitoring โ€” On When You Leave

You decide when Luka records and alerts. Flip Away Monitoring ON when you leave โ€” Luka watches, saves big-movement clips, and gives you a quick call. Flip it OFF when you’re home so everyday movement doesn’t ring your phone.

The live camera always works either way โ€” so you only get a call when you actually want one, when you’re away.
โœ“ No alert spam when you’re home with them
๐ŸŽฌ

Caregiver App Tour

New to the app? Tap Caregiver App Tour for a friendly, narrated walkthrough of every button, top to bottom โ€” with simple Play, Pause, rewind, and Stop controls so you can go at your own pace.

Perfect for a family member or staff learning the app for the first time. Separate from Play Demo, which shows Luka off on its own screen.
โœ“ Anyone can learn the whole app in a few minutes
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Speak Through Luka

Type any message and Luka says it in the room โ€” in Luka’s warm voice or any cloned family voice, chosen per message.

Someone living with dementia can’t always answer a phone โ€” but they can respond to Luka. The voice comes from the companion they already trust.
โœ“ Your loved one never has to answer a phone โ€” they just hear Luka
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Family Voice Library

Record 30โ€“60 seconds once, or upload a voice memo โ€” Luka clones the relative’s voice in about a minute.

That voice becomes available everywhere: spoken messages, photo visits, reminders, and the nighttime comfort steps of Cognitive Guardianโ„ข.
โœ“ Clone once โ€” speak any message, forever
๐Ÿ’ž

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 โ€” without answering anything. The closest thing to walking into the room.
โœ“ Visit daily, from anywhere in the world
๐ŸŽฌ

Video Messages

Upload clips they can watch on demand โ€” the grandkids’ soccer game, a birthday hello, a family message. Played full-screen on Luka.

โœ“ Family moments, delivered to their room
๐ŸŽต

Music From Your Phone

Nine genres โ€” Gospel, Classical, Jazz, Oldies, Hymns, Sinatra, Big Band, Country, Relaxing โ€” or type a song or artist (needs internet).

โœ“ The fastest way to calm or lift a mood, remotely
โฐ

Remote Reminders & Schedules

Send a one-off reminder now, or set up daily reminders โ€” including medication times and appointments โ€” that run on Luka automatically, even when your phone is off.

โœ“ Add, change, or remove from anywhere
๐ŸŽฎ

27 One-Tap Activities

Six voice games, six brain exercises, twelve wellness routines, and quick comfort โ€” show a family photo, calming reassurance, a gentle check-in.

โœ“ Every activity starts and stops with one tap
โš™๏ธ

4-Tap Setup + Facility Admin PIN

Wi-Fi โ†’ alert contact โ†’ resident profile โ†’ done. An optional 4โ€“8 digit admin PIN locks setup and care configuration for facilities with rotating staff.

Everyday staff use Talk, Music, Games, and Wellness freely; setup and Guardian configuration stay protected.
โœ“ Facility-ready from day one
๐Ÿ’ฌ

Messages & Calls

Send a message and Luka reads it aloud; your loved one answers by voice and the reply appears in the app. Start a video or voice call โ€” Luka asks your loved one first, and a double tap on Luka’s screen ends it.

โœ“ No phone for your loved one to find or hold
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Contacts, Quiet Hours & Luka-to-Luka

Decide exactly who can reach Luka, give each person their own app link, set quiet hours, block anyone โ€” and connect to a friend’s Luka with a one-time code both families agree to.

โœ“ No strangers, no spam, no scam calls
๐Ÿ”’

Private by design.

The camera, the voices, and everything about your loved one stay within your family’s circle. Your caregiver link is private and protected by an access key, and Luka never opens ports on your home network. There is no 24/7 recording: short activity clips are made only when Away Monitoring is on, and they are deleted automatically after 7 days. A log shows every time the camera view is opened.

โœ“ Private Access-Key Link โœ“ No Ports Opened at Home โœ“ No 24/7 Recording โœ“ Clips Delete After 7 Days โœ“ Camera View Log โœ“ Facility Admin PIN
๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Multi-User Profiles Patent-Pending Voice Setup

A single Luka device supports up to 25 fully independent resident profiles simultaneously โ€” each with their own biography, music, reminders, photos, Voice Cloning phrases, and conversation history. Caregivers can create and manage profiles entirely by voice โ€” no app, no website, no technical setup โ€” or edit every detail remotely from the Caregiver Companion App.

Up to 25 profiles per device ยท Voice-driven setup ยท Remote editing via app
โž•

Create Profile by Voice New

Caregivers create a new resident profile entirely by voice โ€” no app, no computer, no typing. Simply say “Create a new profile for [name]” and Luka instantly generates a complete profile ready to be personalized.

All biographical details โ€” age, family, hobbies, music preferences, medications โ€” can be added through conversation alone using “Remember that [name]โ€ฆ” Ideal for facility staff who need to onboard a new resident in minutes without any technical steps.
โœ“ Onboarding in minutes โ€” no app required
๐Ÿ“‹

List Profiles by Voice New

Ask Luka to list all available resident profiles at any time. Say “List profiles,” “Show profiles,” or “Who are the users?” Luka reads back every profile name along with which is currently active.

No screen navigation required โ€” a quick voice check to confirm who is set up and who is currently selected. Especially useful in multi-resident deployments where staff need to verify configuration without accessing any admin interface.
โœ“ Voice-driven profile verification
๐Ÿงพ

Complete Per-Profile Biography

Each profile stores hometown, career, family, hobbies, and preferences. Every conversation is grounded in who that person actually is. Fully editable from the Caregiver Companion App โ€” biography, comfort topics, what to avoid, favorite music, daily routine.

โœ“ Familiar, personal interactions
๐Ÿ”„

Voice-Activated Profile Switching

A caregiver says the resident’s name and Luka switches instantly โ€” biography, music, reminders, and photos. No logins, no buttons.

โœ“ Seamless in shared environments
โฐ

Per-User Reminders & Routines

Each profile has its own independently configured medication reminders, appointment alerts, and daily routines.

โœ“ Individualized scheduling
๐ŸŽต

Per-Profile Music & Media

Each resident’s preferred music, calming media, and nature scenes are stored separately and loaded automatically on profile switch.

โœ“ Right content, right person
๐ŸŒ™

Per-Profile Cognitive Guardian Settings

Each resident’s agitation window, calming cues, and escalation preferences are configured independently โ€” by voice or remotely from the Caregiver Companion App.

โœ“ Personalized night support
๐Ÿ“Š

Up to 25 Profiles, Included

One Luka โ€” the 10-inch model, in a hard shell or a soft plush cover โ€” holds up to 25 resident profiles at no extra cost. That covers a single home or a whole memory care wing.

Profile switching is by voice or on-screen menu. The Caregiver Companion App is included free.
๐ŸŽค

Voice Cloningโ„ข โ€” A Loved One’s Voice Voice Library

Most technology speaks to residents in a stranger’s voice. Voice Cloning changes that. Caregivers and family members record short phrases in their own voice โ€” and Luka delivers reminders, greetings, and comfort messages that sound like the people the resident loves most. NEW: with the Family Voice Library, clone a relative’s voice once from a 30โ€“60 second recording โ€” then type any message in that voice from the Caregiver Companion App.

Scheduled phrases in a family member’s voice + Family Voice Library, included
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Family Voice Library New โ€” Via Caregiver App

Record 30โ€“60 seconds of a relative speaking โ€” or upload an existing voice memo โ€” and Luka clones that voice in about a minute. Once cloned, the voice is available everywhere: type any message in the app and Luka speaks it in that voice; use it for Photo Visits; choose it for the family-voice step of Cognitive Guardianโ„ข night escalation.

This is different from scheduled Voice Cloning phrases (below), which are pre-recorded and played at set moments. The Family Voice Library is live and unlimited โ€” clone once, then speak any message, anytime, from anywhere. Included on every plan.
โœ“ Clone once โ€” speak any message in their loved one’s voice
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Family-Recorded Phrases

Record once โ€” Luka plays back at the right moment, forever. Reminders, greetings, and comfort messages in a familiar, loved voice.

Examples: “Good morning Dad, it’s time for your medication.” ยท “Hi Grandma, I love you. You are safe at home.” ยท “It’s 8 PM, time for your evening routine.”
โœ“ Deeply personal โ€” families call it the moment that changed their mind
โ˜๏ธ

Secure Cloud Storage

All phrase recordings and cloned voices are stored securely and update automatically across the device. Record once โ€” played back forever at the right moments.

โœ“ No re-recording needed
๐Ÿ’ฌ

Conversation & Personalization Photo Album

Familiar, supportive conversations guided by caregiver-provided biography and preferences. Luka knows who it’s talking to โ€” their career, family, hometown, hobbies โ€” and conversations feel personal, not generic. NEW: scan printed photos by voice and build a personal voice-controlled album.

7 features
๐Ÿ“–

Life Story Memory & Personal Q&A

Knows each resident’s career, family, hometown, and hobbies. Residents can ask: “Where was I born? What did I do for work? Do I have grandchildren?”

Especially comforting for people living with dementia, whose long-term memories often stay strong.
โœ“ Reinforces identity and long-term memory
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

Family-Context Conversation Prompts

Gentle conversation starters based on family and routine context โ€” reduces repetitive or confusing exchanges.

โœ“ Calmer, more connected moments
๐Ÿง 

Session Continuity

Remembers what was discussed in the current session and continues naturally โ€” no need to repeat context mid-conversation.

โœ“ More natural, less frustrating dialogue
๐Ÿ“ธ

Family Photos & Special Memory Photos

Caregiver-uploaded photos โ€” birthdays, weddings, reunions โ€” displayed with guided conversation support. Add photos straight from your phone with the Caregiver Companion App.

โœ“ Reinforces family connection
๐Ÿ“ท

Photo Scanning & Album Patent-Pending New

Luka scans printed photographs using its built-in camera, describes what it sees, and saves the photo with an AI-generated meaningful label like “Lisa and kids at the beach” โ€” all by voice, no manual naming needed.

After each scan Luka asks “Would you like to scan another?” allowing batch scanning of several photos in one session. Residents view their album by saying “show my photos” โ€” Luka displays each photo with narration and waits for “next” or “stop.”

Per-user photo storage โ€” each resident has their own private album. Delete by voice: “delete photo Lisa at the beach.” This is different from Family Photos uploaded by caregivers โ€” Photo Scanning lets residents and caregivers digitize any printed photo from a bedside, wall, or album using only voice and Luka’s camera.
โœ“ Digitize printed photos by voice โ€” no scanner, no app
๐ŸŒ

Multi-Language Conversation

Supports multilingual families and caregivers. Useful when a resident is more comfortable in their preferred language.

โœ“ Helps bilingual households
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Translation Support

Translation help for common caregiver phrases and everyday communication across language barriers.

โœ“ Helpful for multilingual care teams
๐ŸŽฎ

Cognitive Games & Brain Exercises

20 brain games for fun and engagement, in three formats โ€” touchscreen games, picture games, and conversation games. Something for every stage and every mood. Caregivers can also start any voice game or brain exercise remotely with one tap from the Caregiver Companion App.

20 games (8 touchscreen + 6 picture + 6 conversation)
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

8 Touchscreen Games

Hands-on games supporting attention, matching, and visual recognition. Accessible for varying motor abilities. Results and encouragement announced aloud by Luka.
โœ“ Active screen engagement
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

6 Picture Games

Spot the Difference ยท Memory Pair Matching ยท Guess the Missing Part ยท Shapes Memory ยท Colors Memory ยท Picture Quiz

Luka shows the pictures and your loved one answers out loud โ€” no touching needed. Ideal for residents with limited mobility or low technology confidence.
โœ“ No touch required โ€” fully accessible
๐Ÿ“š

6 Conversation Games

Brain Exercise ยท Brain Training ยท Memory Training ยท Help My Memory ยท Help My Thinking ยท Mental Exercise

Spoken brain games โ€” word lists, sequences, naming things in a category, finishing a phrase. Played entirely by conversation.
โœ“ Fun for the mind, no screen needed
๐Ÿ’ฌ

Talk for Me

Some days the words are there and will not come out — after a stroke, during a long illness, or late in an afternoon when speaking has simply become too much work. Talk for Me puts the phrases that come up most often on the screen as large tiles. One tap, and Luka says it out loud in a voice the household already knows.

On the touchscreen
๐Ÿ‘†

Tap to Speak

Yes · No · I need help, please · I am in pain · I need the bathroom · I am thirsty

Six large tiles, sized for hands that are not steady and eyes that are not sharp. The tile lights up as it is pressed, so there is never any doubt about whether it worked. Tiles speak out loud to the people in the room โ€” โ€œI need help, pleaseโ€ does not send an alert or call anyone.
โœ“ The essentials, without having to find the words
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Spoken in a Familiar Voice

Phrases are spoken in the same voice the household already hears from Luka — including a cloned family voice, where one has been set up.

A request made in a warm, familiar voice is answered differently from one made by a machine — by family and by staff alike.
โœ“ Sounds like part of the home, not equipment
โœ๏ธ

Your Own Phrases

The tiles are not fixed. Your care team can set them to the phrases that actually matter in your household.

A name. A pet. “Please turn the television down.” “I would like to sit outside.” “Call my daughter.” The phrases that come up every day in one home are not the ones that come up in another.
โœ“ Set to your household, not a standard list
๐Ÿ“ถ

Keeps Working When the Internet Drops

Every phrase is prepared and stored on the device in advance, so Talk for Me keeps working when the Wi-Fi does not.

A way of saying “I am in pain” cannot be the thing that stops working during an outage. Nothing is fetched at the moment of use.
โœ“ Available during an outage
๐Ÿ”™

Reached in Two Taps

Menu, then Talk for Me. No app, no login, no setup screen, and one clearly marked way back.

Luka pauses listening while the board is open, so it does not treat the spoken phrases as questions put to it. Leaving returns the screen exactly as it was.
โœ“ No help needed to open or close it
๐Ÿค

Alongside Speech, Not Instead of It

Talk for Me switches nothing off. Conversation, reminders, music, games and everything else stay exactly as they were.

It is there for the hours when it is needed and ignored on the days it is not. Nothing has to be enabled, explained to a visitor, or set up again afterwards.
โœ“ Nothing else changes
๐Ÿ’š

12 Emotional Wellness Routines

All voice-activated. A resident or caregiver describes how they feel and Luka responds with a supportive routine. Available any time, day or night โ€” and startable remotely from the Caregiver Companion App. Plus quick comfort moments: a family photo, calming reassurance, a gentle check-in.

12 routines + quick comfort โ€” voice-activated
These 12 routines are calming and breathing moments designed to complement the care your loved one already receives. They are not medical interventions and do not replace professional assessment or treatment.

Safety Alerts & Caregiver Tools Updated

Caregiver notification features โ€” configurable and optional. Help phrases that phone the caregiver, reminders your family sets up (including medication times), Nap-Safe Reminders, and a live camera from anywhere via the Caregiver Companion App. Luka never calls 911 and is not an emergency response system. In an emergency, call 911.

4 features

๐Ÿšจ Help Phrase Call to the Caregiver Updated

When your loved one says a help phrase such as “I need help” or “I fell” while Luka is in Active mode, Luka phones the caregiver with a spoken message that includes the resident’s name. Luka also tells your loved one that it is letting their caregiver know.

Examples of help phrases: “Help me” ยท “I need help” ยท “I fell” ยท “Send help” ยท “Call for help”. Luka responds to spoken words only โ€” it does not detect falls or medical events. Luka is not a fall-detection device.
Important: Luka never calls 911 and is not an emergency response system. In an emergency, call 911. The help call works while Luka is in Active mode, not while it is paused for a nap.

Luka listens for real requests for help, so everyday phrases like “I need your help to decide what to eat” will not trigger a call. No buttons required, no app needed.

(472) 444-0101

โš  Calls come from Luka’s number, (472) 444-0101. Save it as “Luka Bear” in your phone contacts so the call is not blocked as spam.

๐Ÿšถ

Activity Clips While You’re Away Updated

Turn on Away Monitoring when you leave. If Luka notices a big movement in the room, it saves a short clip and gives you a quick phone call. Turn it off when you’re home.

Optional and set by the caregiver. Clips are deleted automatically after 7 days. Luka is not a fall-detection device.
โœ“ Activity awareness while you’re away
๐Ÿ“น

Live Camera โ€” From Anywhere New

On-demand check-in of the room from any network, anywhere in the world โ€” via the free Caregiver Companion App, through a private link protected by an access key.

LIVE badge, movement status, time since last interaction, and auto-reconnect. Replaces the old same-Wi-Fi-only video stream โ€” now you can check on a quiet resident from work, vacation, or across the country.
โœ“ Remote room check-in โ€” from anywhere, and every view is logged
๐Ÿ“Š

Daily Activity Summary

Overview of engagement patterns and activity participation sent to caregivers (where enabled). The Caregiver Companion App adds a no-response check-in call โ€” Luka calls you if the day goes too quiet.

โœ“ Informed caregiving decisions

๐Ÿ’Š Reminders, Including Medication Times Updated

Reminders your family sets up, including medication times and appointments โ€” per resident, managed by voice in the room or remotely from the Caregiver Companion App. Luka reminds each person at the right time and listens for a quick “done.”

๐Ÿ” Gentle Follow-Up

Luka says each medication-time reminder twice, then listens for a reply such as “took it,” “done,” “yes,” or “got it.” If it hears one, Luka thanks your loved one. If it hears nothing, Luka reminds again in 15 minutes.

๐ŸŒ™ Nap-Safe Reminders

Any medication or appointment reminder that fires during Nap/Pause Mode is automatically saved and delivered immediately when the resident wakes up. Nothing is lost.

โš  Luka provides the reminder and listens for verbal acknowledgment, but does not physically verify medication was swallowed. Always supervise medication with a qualified caregiver.

๐Ÿ”‡

Nap / Pause Mode Updated

Pause Luka’s listening during nap time, quiet hours, or private moments. The help-phrase call works in Active mode, so wake Luka again when your loved one is on their own.

Say “Pause” or “Nap time” to activate. Say “I’m awake,” “Wake up,” “Resume,” or the resident’s name to end pause. Any medication or appointment reminders that fire during pause are saved and delivered when the resident wakes โ€” nothing is lost.

โœ“ Quiet when needed โ€” reminders never missed
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Verbal Reminders

Residents and caregivers can set, cancel, and list personal reminders entirely by voice โ€” no app, no buttons, no caregiver setup required. Luka confirms each reminder, schedules it, and announces it at the right time. Caregivers can also manage every reminder remotely from the Caregiver Companion App.

Voice-activated ยท Remote management via app

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Set, Cancel & List Reminders by Voice

Supports one-time, daily, and weekday repeating reminders. Medication and appointment reminders are automatically categorized for priority handling. Luka confirms each reminder and announces it at the scheduled time.

“Remind me to take my heart pills at 8 AM every day”
“Set a reminder for my doctor appointment tomorrow at 3 PM”
“Remind me to call my daughter at 5:30 in the evening”
“Cancel all reminders”
“What are my reminders?”
“Cancel my medication reminder”
โš  Luka announces the reminder at the scheduled time and listens for a spoken reply. It does not physically verify that medication was taken. Always supervise medication with a qualified caregiver.
๐Ÿง 

Dynamic Voice Memory Patent-Pending Conv. Setup

Caregivers and residents update Luka’s memory by voice in real time. Say “rememberโ€ฆ” or “forgetโ€ฆ” and Luka adapts instantly โ€” no app, no typing, no technical skill required. Say “remember” once and keep talking โ€” Luka asks “Anything else to remember?” after each fact, populating an entire biography in minutes.

Real-time adaptive personalization ยท No website required
๐Ÿ’พ

Conversational Memory Setup New

Say “remember” once, then keep talking. Luka asks “Anything else to remember?” after each fact and continues listening (30-second window per response) until the caregiver says “that’s it,” “I’m done,” or stays silent. One command can populate an entire biography in minutes.

This replaces the Submit Biography form entirely. Setting up a complete resident profile by voice takes about 5โ€“10 minutes per person. Multi-resident facility deployments of 10 residents typically take 30โ€“60 minutes total โ€” and feels like briefing a colleague, not filling out a form.
โœ“ Set up an entire biography by voice โ€” no website required
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Live Voice Updates

“Remember that my son David is visiting this weekend.” โ€” Luka immediately applies this to conversation and reminders.

โœ“ No app or typing required
๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Clean Memory Removal

“Forget that David is visiting.” โ€” Luka cleanly removes outdated information on command, preventing stale context from surfacing.

โœ“ Always current, never stale
๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Per-User Memory Storage

Voice memory is stored per-profile in multi-resident deployments. Each resident’s real-time updates remain isolated and private.

โœ“ Works across all 25 profiles
๐ŸŽต

Entertainment & Media

Music, calming nature scenes, and curated media โ€” all accessible by voice in the room, or remotely from the Caregiver Companion App. Music is one of the most powerful tools for dementia engagement; familiar songs reach residents when other approaches fail.

4 features
๐ŸŽต

Music & Video on Demand

Ask for favorite music, artists, genres or videos by voice (needs internet). Say “Play jazz,” “Play Frank Sinatra,” or “Play relaxing music.” When a request is vague, Luka gently guides the resident with suggestions. Caregivers can also start a song remotely from the app.

โœ“ Familiar music for dementia engagement
๐ŸŒฟ

Curated Calming Media Updated

Approved calming sounds and scenes โ€” rain, ocean waves, forest ambience, and relaxation music from a controlled media library. Stored locally or via Luka’s cloud/facility library for reliable playback without ads or interruptions.

Residents simply say “Play rain sounds,” “Play ocean sounds,” or “Play forest sounds.” Especially useful for residents experiencing agitation.
โœ“ Sensory grounding without ads or interruptions
โน๏ธ

Voice Playback Control

Stop any audio or video at any time by saying “Stop playing,” “Stop music,” or “Stop sounds.” Full control by voice โ€” no buttons needed.

โœ“ Resident and caregiver always in control
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Enhanced Voice Capture Updated

Optimized for low-volume, slow, and fragile elderly speech through improved audio sensitivity, longer listening windows, and adaptive detection.

Extended 15-second listening window โ€” accommodates slow speakers, long sentences, and caregiver setup sessions without cutting off mid-sentence. Generous pause tolerance lets Luka wait for hesitant speakers; adaptive detection automatically adjusts to each resident’s speech pace.
โœ“ True accessibility for elderly voices โ€” heard the first time
๐Ÿ“…

Daily Orientation & Utilities

Practical daily touchpoints that help residents stay grounded, reduce confusion, and feel connected to the world around them.

6 features
๐Ÿ“…

Today’s Date

“What is today’s date?” โ€” Luka answers with the full date including month, day, and year. Reduces calendar confusion.

โœ“ Reduces temporal disorientation

Compliance & Trust

Formally documented. Facility-ready.

Luka Bear is classified as a non-medical assistive companion device under the FDA General Wellness Policy (July 2016) and the Assistive Technology Act of 2004. Active Compliance Portfolio v2.1, July 4, 2026 โ€” available on request for facility procurement, grant applications, and reimbursement conversations.

  • Privacy first: The Caregiver Companion App opens through a private link protected by an access key, and Luka never opens ports on your home network. There is no 24/7 recording โ€” short activity clips are made only when Away Monitoring is on, and are deleted automatically after 7 days. A log shows every time the camera view is opened. Data is never sold or shared with advertisers.
  • eMMA Registered: Registered on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage as of March 28, 2026 โ€” enabling state procurement eligibility for Maryland agencies and state-funded programs.

Stay in touch โ€” safely

Messages, video and voice calls between Luka and the family’s Caregiver App โ€” and between friends who both have a Luka. No phone to find or hold, and nobody gets through unless the family approves them.

New ยท October 2026
โœ‰๏ธ

Messages, read aloud

Family types a message in the Caregiver App and Luka reads it aloud: โ€œMessage from your daughter: dinner on Sunday!โ€ To answer, your loved one just tells Luka โ€” โ€œMessage Katherine, I’d love to come.โ€

Luka always reads a message back before sending it.
๐Ÿ“ž

Video & voice calls

Family calls Luka from the Caregiver App. Luka never answers on its own โ€” it asks first: โ€œYour granddaughter is calling. Would you like to answer?โ€

A double tap on Luka’s screen ends the call.
๐Ÿป

Luka to Luka

Friends and relatives who both have a Luka can send spoken messages โ€” โ€œTell Rita I’ll call her tomorrowโ€ โ€” and call each other, no phone needed.

Two Lukas connect only with a one-time code that both families agree to.
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Safe circle

Only people the family has approved can reach Luka โ€” no strangers, no spam, no scam calls. Set quiet hours so nobody wakes your loved one at night, and block anyone at any time, right from the Caregiver App.

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

โ€œLuka, delete all my informationโ€

Say it โ€” or ask in the Caregiver App โ€” and Luka deletes the person’s profile, memories, photos, voice copy and messages, here and in the cloud.

There is a day to change your mind, and the family is told.
