Dementia support, not gadget theatre

Why this exists

Built from what dementia took from my own family.

Dementia has run through both sides of my family, and I have watched first-hand how this progressive disease can slowly reshape everyday life. My nan died five years ago after a long battle with dementia-related illness, including the painful stage where she no longer recognised parts of her own family. My father also died last year after battling dementia.

Across both experiences, the same patterns kept appearing. A lost sense of time. Distress caused by a lack of structure. Anxiety around not remembering who was coming to visit, what was happening that day, or even whether lunch was at 1pm. Sometimes it was even simpler than that: needing someone or something to respond at odd hours when sleep had become erratic and the world no longer felt steady.

Setting up Adoptabot is also a personal journey for me while I cope with the loss of my loved ones. Being able to focus my energy on helping other families has given me the strength to turn something deeply negative into a huge positive. With so much negativity around AI, I wanted to put my background in computer science and technology to better use. Adoptabot grew from that decision. The idea is not to replace human care, but to create a calm companion that can bring back structure, familiarity and reassurance when they are needed most.

How it works

Designed to feel familiar, not technical.

01

Routine prompts that sound human

Morning, mealtime, medication and leaving-home reminders can be scheduled as warm spoken messages instead of cold alarms.

02

Family photo reassurance

Shared photos become gentle prompts for names, relationships and upcoming visits, helping familiar faces stay grounded in context.

03

Quiet oversight for carers

If a routine appears to have been missed, a nominated family member or carer gets a simple nudge instead of monitoring everything all day.

04

One-button connection

The interface prioritises one-tap calling and video check-ins so reassurance is always easier than navigating menus.

05

Scam warning mode

When an unknown caller or suspicious message appears, PAL can switch to a safer script and prompt the person to pause before responding.

06

Early-stage dementia focus

PAL is designed to support independence for longer, while keeping carers informed before confusion turns into crisis.
