Persons living with dementia have the opportunity to recognize themselves in their video and see themselves performing their daily routines in their own home, as shown in their BrightGuide. This is a convenient and dignified way to achieve self-confidence and autonomy.

BrightGuide acts as a “cognitive aid" for persons living with dementia before or after they ask a care partner for assistance.

Doctor’s and therapists often need detailed information about the person's daily routine, recent performance and environmental triggers. BrightGuide provides the most objective and contextually-rich data a clinician could ask for - all without burdening the care partner to interpret their loved one's behaviour.

This line of communication between healthcare providers, patients, and care partners is secure and meets industry and government privacy regulations.

BrightGuide is not currently for sale. We are seeking volunteers to help us undergo a pilot study in Fall of 2017. Please click on "Sign Up"

BrightGuide is based on the concept of using video feedback as a tool to help people enhance their performance in work or play - like athletes whose coaches show them videos of the game or a pilot who watches a video of themselves operating a plane.

Video feedback has been shown to help people drastically improve their performance in these fields, and we want to use the same concept to help persons living with dementia regain self-confidence and autonomy for their daily living activities.

A smart phone, tablet or computer with a USB camera connected to internet can be used. Once the user signs in, the cameras can be managed to record audio-video instructions.

We are currently working on advanced algorithms to analyze the video and tell you what type of activity a person is doing and automatically create highlight reels of relevant footage.

Currently, care partners can manually showcase video snippets to the patient to provide high-fidelity instructions that can enhance behavioural health.

The system is suitable for any living quarters where the person living with dementia performs majority of their daily routine. The location must have internet access.

Only authorized individuals can sign into the service to access their personal videos, just like signing into your personal e-mail. The videos cannot be viewed by any other party due to our state-of-the-art end-to-end encryption technology.

We are an educational tool that does not provide medical or health diagnostic data. We therefore do not currently qualify as a medical device and do not require Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance.
