Lumi: AI-Powered Connection for Aging with Dignity

umi is a new kind of communication tool that helps older adults feel more connected with their families, not just during video calls but in the moments between them.

Many families use video calls to stay in touch. But for older adults, it can be hard to keep up with fast conversations, remember what was said, or follow through on small plans. They might forget a promise like “I’ll bring photos next time” or “Let’s plan a visit in March.”

Lumi makes it easy to mark those moments during a call. With a simple tap, a family member or the older adult can highlight something meaningful. After the call, Lumi gently brings those moments back through simple reminders, like a short phrase or a visual cue. These reminders help turn words into real-life actions. Someone might get ready for the next call, bring something to share, or actually plan that visit. It keeps the conversation going, even after the call ends.

Unlike other tech tools that try to summarize everything or rely too much on artificial intelligence, Lumi keeps things simple and thoughtful. The technology works in the background, quietly helping people stay connected without making things more complicated.

With Lumi, a conversation isn’t something that starts and stops with a screen. It becomes part of everyday life. It helps older adults feel remembered, involved, and truly connected to the people they care about.
