What They Say
What We Do
Extending Independence and Quality of Life
Our program supports older adults experiencing early memory loss with practical, ongoing care designed to slow progression and extend independence at home.
For individuals and families alike, we combine a dedicated care team with AI assistants to provide consistent, affordable support - along with regular updates and alerts so you always feel informed, supported, and connected.
Cognition
We support cognition through structured exercises and guided conversations that encourage creativity, new learning, and emotional well-being. By addressing motivation, anxiety, and mood, we help reduce factors that can negatively affect cognition and support cognitive reserve.
Routines
We support daily routines by boosting motivation and acting as a memory aid. Velma can remind users when to take out the trash, guide through steps for cooking, getting dressed, or taking medications, and help sequence daily tasks. These small supports make everyday activities easier to manage
Insights & Alerts
Velma keeps families informed by highlighting changes that may need attention. This includes alerts for potential infections, shifts in mood or cognition, and other patterns that could affect daily life. Families get guidance from observations and anything users may not remember to share.

About Us
Our Advisors
We care deeply about making sure every one of our users is in good hands. We lean heavily on advisors, practitioners, and those who have spent decades taking care of seniors with dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment. They help us refine protocols, training materials, and conversation scripts to ensure they’re accurate, well-received, and reflect the highest standard of care.
The People Behind Velma
From Our Founder
I'm Lisa, the founder of Velma. Supporting my mom from several states away made me realize how hard it is to provide consistent care and engagement. I worried about her isolation, and that the long stretches she spent alone at home were accelerating her decline. As a biomedical engineer, I wanted to create a way to support her daily and feel confident I was doing everything I could to help her stay engaged and thinking clearly.
Since using Velma, her mood is brighter, she’s no longer depressed, and our conversations feel lighter and more meaningful. While I can’t stop the effects of aging, I can now track changes over time and feel confident she’s getting the support she needs.
Our Team
Alongside me is a compassionate team of care managers, engineers, practitioners, and advisors who bring this program to life every day. Empathy is core to how we grow. Many of our team members have supported loved ones with memory loss themselves or worked closely with families facing these challenges.
We want you to feel that you’re not just using a program. You have people who genuinely care, understand what you’re going through, and are here to support both you and your family member.
Signs
Do these concerns sound familiar?
You’re not alone. These can be signs that your loved one could benefit from support, whether they’re feeling lonely, struggling with short-term memory, or having difficulty with daily tasks.
Responding to Spam
Answering spam calls or falling for scams easily
Repetition
Repeating the same questions or calling you frequently throughout the day
Routines
Neglecting hygiene, trouble keeping track of appointments, turning off the stove, or expired food
Anxiety
Bouts of anxiety where they may be hyper-focused on their belongings, people, or pets
Falls
A little unsteady on their feet. A fall could be life-threatening to them, but it's hard to always know if they've fallen
Loneliness
If they spend large portions of each day by themselves, a lot of their friends have passed away or no longer keep in touch
