For families caring for someone with dementia
A dementia communication app that keeps things familiar
A dementia communication app should not add confusion. ExpressAgain's Dementia and Senior Care mode keeps the screen gentle and simple: big buttons, the faces of the people the person loves, and an Everyday & Familiar library of plain phrases for needs right now, where am I, and help me remember.
What is already built
The Everyday & Familiar library
Short, plain phrases for needs right now, where am I and what's happening, the people I love (with the names from My People), feeling unsettled, calm and comfort, the daily routine, help me remember, yes and no, and feelings.

Familiar faces on My People
Family, friends, church, school and work with a photo next to each name, real Call, FaceTime and Text buttons, and a Speak button.

Feel Good and the patient's own music
A scroll of short, happy clips for rest, and the family's own music in the background of Games and Play.

Bigger text, bigger buttons, higher contrast
Set in the guided setup and in Settings; the whole app reflows to match, and a simple-language preference keeps wording short.

Today: the dementia mode's phrases, familiar faces, Feel Good and the music, with big buttons.
How it works
Create a free account: your name, email, a password and who the app is for (yourself, someone you care for, a patient, or an organization).
The guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review.
Tap any phrase on Communicate to say it out loud; invite family with a personal link and give each clinician or professional a code from the Care Team page.
Questions people ask
Is it free to start?
Yes. Free is where everyone starts, and communicating is never behind a paywall: tap to speak, the phrase boards, the sentence builder, Letters, the Phrase Library, lessons, Games and Play, the emergency screen, the Emergency Plan Card and the built-in voice. Free also invites 2 family members to the Family and Friends Feed. The Pricing page shows the plans side by side.
What happens after I sign up?
Sign up asks for your name, email and a password, and who the app is for. Then the guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review. Entering the patient's name and date of birth pins the two phrases hospitals ask for constantly.
How is the dementia mode chosen?
In the guided setup. The Dementia and Senior Care phrases then open first in the Phrase Library and at the top of the Communicate page, and every phrase in the library stays open.
Can the phrases use the family's names?
Yes. The people I love phrases take the names from My People, so the app says the daughter's real name, not a placeholder.
