An LLM companion for Alzheimer’s caregiving

Calm guidance, exactly when it matters.

CLARA helps caregivers handle hard moments with dementia-friendly scripts, quick next steps, and doctor-ready summaries — all in a minimal, steady experience.

Designed for real life: fast, interruptible answers; optional logging; and a “Dr Summary” you can paste into the portal.

In-the-moment scripts

“Do / Say / Avoid” guidance that lowers conflict without arguing reality.

Quick observation log

Capture what happened in 10 seconds — time, trigger, what helped.

Doctor-ready summary

Turn patterns into a concise, clinician-friendly Dr Summary on demand.

Example conversation Crisis Mode
Eleanor
She keeps saying I stole her purse. Help.
Clara
DO (now): lower your voice, stand side‑by‑side, offer to look together.
SAY: “That’s upsetting. I’m here. Let’s look together so you feel safe.”
AVOID: “You’re wrong.”

Want me to save this as an observation for your next appointment?

See CLARA in action.

A quick look at how CLARA responds in Crisis Mode — with “Do / Say / Avoid” scripts, optional logging, and doctor-ready summaries.

A simple loop: help now, learn later.

CLARA stays minimal on purpose. The first screen gives you what to do and what to say. If you want, CLARA can log what happened and turn it into a clear picture for your next doctor visit.

Step 1

Ask in plain language.

Short, messy messages are fine. CLARA responds calmly — with a 3‑step plan and exact scripts that avoid power struggles.

Step 2

Optionally save an observation.

One tap to capture time of day, trigger, severity, and what helped — so you’re not relying on memory later.

Step 3

Generate a Dr Summary.

Before appointments, CLARA turns observations into a concise, clinician‑friendly summary with the right details.

Minimal on the surface. Powerful underneath.

Built for Alzheimer’s caregiving moments: agitation, repetition, refusals, sundowning, wandering — and the constant “what do I say?”

Scripts

Connect, don’t correct.

Emotion‑first phrases that reduce distress — without debating facts.

Structure

Do / Say / Avoid.

Fast guidance Eleanor can use in under 30 seconds.

Patterns

Spot the “why.”

Unmet‑need prompts: pain, toileting, hunger, overstimulation, fatigue.

Elevmi‑style logging

Observations that actually help.

CLARA can capture what happened, what came before, what worked, and what to ask the clinician — without turning your life into paperwork.

Tiny lessons

One‑minute coaching cards.

When you want the “why,” CLARA teaches a single skill at a time: validation, redirection, choice‑based prompting, and safer re‑tries.

A Dr Summary you can paste in seconds.

Not too long. Not too vague. Just the right details: patterns, triggers, what helped, and the questions you want answered.

Dr Summary — Betty (82, mid-stage AD) Last 14 days
Top changes:
• Increased evening agitation (most days ~6–8pm)
• 3 medication refusals (resolved with applesauce + 10-min retry)
• 2 exit-seeking attempts at front door (redirected with “coat → water → sit” ritual)

Notable episodes:
• 11/08 ~7:10pm — “stolen purse” accusation; trigger: TV noise + fatigue; duration: 12 min; helped: validation + joint search.
• 11/11 ~6:45pm — pacing + yelling; trigger: transition to bath; duration: 18 min; helped: pause demand + warm washcloth plan.

Safety:
• No falls. One near-miss wandering attempt (stayed in sight).

Questions for clinician:
• Best strategies/med review for evening agitation?
• Any side effects to watch for given increased sleepiness?
• Guidance on structured routine for bathing without escalation?
        

Privacy-forward by design.

CLARA can work with minimal information. Logging and memory are optional, and should always be easy to review and delete.

Optional

Memory is opt‑in.

You choose what CLARA remembers (calming cues, triggers, routines).

Control

Editable logs.

Observations are written in plain language and can be corrected or removed.

Minimal

No clutter.

Designed to reduce cognitive load — especially during hard moments.

Questions, answered calmly.

Short, clear answers — with safety guardrails when it matters.

Is CLARA medical advice?

No. CLARA provides caregiving communication strategies, planning help, and ways to summarize observations for a clinician. For dosing or urgent symptoms, CLARA will encourage contacting a pharmacist/clinician or emergency services as appropriate.

What does “script-first” mean?

If Eleanor is in a stressful moment, CLARA starts with what to do and what to say — then offers deeper explanation only if needed.

Can CLARA help with wandering or safety emergencies?

Yes — CLARA prioritizes immediate safety steps and will recommend calling local emergency services when there’s danger or someone is missing.

Can I export a Dr Summary?

Yes. CLARA can generate a copy/paste summary from recent observations (e.g., “last 2 weeks”) that you can share with a clinician.
