In this episode of, we’re joined by Louis Swart, Business Coach for Coaches and Founder of Ironbrij, for a thoughtful conversation on how AI can be used to preserve memories and voices for loved ones living with dementia.

Louis shares how families can use AI to create living memory books, where gentle, guided questions help loved ones share their stories—recorded in their own voice. These recordings can become meaningful keepsakes that support connection, identity, and person-centered care.

We discuss how this approach:

1. Helps preserve personal stories and emotional bonds
2. Allows caregivers to capture memories before they fade
3. Uses technology to support dignity, not replace human connection

This episode offers a hopeful and practical look at how innovation can support families navigating memory loss.

So many people today are heavily impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

Society is not prepared to care for the projected increase of people who will develop this devastating disease.
