How Remme Works

Remme transforms a lifetime of photos into meaningful, therapeutic experiences. By combining cutting-edge AI with human insight and empathy, we help families reconnect through memory.

Here's how the journey unfolds:

Collecting and Digitizing Memories

The journey begins with gathering meaningful photos from your loved one's life. These can be digital images or physical prints that we'll help you digitize.

Our goal is to collect a diverse set of images that span different life periods, relationships, and experiences. These will form the foundation of personalized reminiscence therapy sessions.

We work with:

Digital photo files in any format
Printed photos, regardless of size or age
Traditional photo albums, slides, and negatives
Short video clips from family archives

Our scanning service helps you digitize physical photos with care and precision

Providing Family Context

Photos alone tell only part of the story. That's why we work with you to gather important context about the people, places, and events that matter most.

This information helps our system understand the emotional significance of each image and create more meaningful connections during therapy sessions.

Key information we collect:

Names and relationships of important people
Locations with personal or historical meaning
Major life events, such as weddings, graduations, or moves
Careers, hobbies, and favorite pastimes
Stories, traditions, and memories tied to specific moments

Processing with Shoebox AI

With your photos and context in place, our Shoebox AI engine begins its analysis. It is designed specifically for personal photo collections and understands how to uncover the emotional and narrative threads that run through a lifetime.

Shoebox AI creates a Life Map—a dynamic and interactive timeline that highlights key relationships, significant events, and emotional moments. This visual representation becomes the heart of the Remme experience.

What Shoebox AI does:

Detects people, places, objects, and activities in each image
Arranges photos in chronological order and groups them into chapters of life
Maps relationships between individuals and shared experiences
Builds storylines around important memories and themes
Identifies emotionally rich topics to support therapeutic reflection

Engaging in Personalized Therapy Sessions

Once the Life Map is ready, your loved one can begin guided therapy sessions with Remme, our conversational AI. These sessions are conducted through a user-friendly tablet interface that feels just like browsing through a family photo album with a trusted friend.

Each session is gentle, intuitive, and deeply human. There is no testing or pressure—just meaningful moments of reflection and connection.

Key features of Remme sessions:

A calming, easy-to-use interface designed for older adults
Conversations that feel natural and adapt to the person's mood
Smart selection of photos that resonate emotionally
Guided storytelling based on comfort level and interests

Tracking Progress and Insights

As your loved one engages with Remme, our system gathers valuable insights about their cognitive and emotional responses. These insights are shared with you through a secure family portal.

This information can help you understand what memories bring joy, which topics spark the most engagement, and how to better connect during your own visits and conversations.

Insights you'll receive:

Engagement patterns and preferred topics
Emotional responses to different memories
Cognitive strengths revealed during sessions
Conversation starters for family visits
Progress reports and session summaries

The Connect portal provides valuable insights for family members

Evolving with Every Interaction

Remme is designed to learn and grow over time. Each session helps the system refine its understanding of what matters most to your loved one. Family and Caregivers can add additional photos, stories, or context and as new photos or memories are added, the experience becomes even more personalized.

Key Features:

Recognizing and prioritizing high-engagement topics
Adjusting conversation tone and complexity as needed
Optimizing session timing and duration for sustained focus
Expanding storylines and memory prompts based on past interest
Seamlessly integrating new photos or information shared by family
