Secure on-going access to the benefits of reminiscing with Audivi.
Audivi improves and empowers care by harnessing the transformative power of reminiscence therapy. By providing an innovative, immersive, and accessible platform, we ensure that the benefits of reminiscence remain within reach, even as cognition declines.
How Audivi works:
1. Reminisce
Audivi offers a step-by-step platform to reminisce. Answer a question. Create your own question. Describe an old photo. Detail family lore. Add a memory each day. Reminisce alone or with grandkids. Reap the benefits of reminiscing day in and day out. For yourself or a loved one.
2. Save memories
Save memories in an on-line memory bank and secure on-going access to the benefits of reminiscing, regardless of cognitive decline. Memories can be played back anytime, anywhere, with the click of a button, creating a permanent touchstone to the past for the individual and family.
3. Enjoy memories anytime
Audivi, Latin for ‘I heard’, uses voice + photo to create an immersive playback experience. Did you know that hearing the voice of a loved one causes your love hormone to go up & your stress hormone to go down? Audivi combines voice and photo to offer an immersive trip down memory lane.

Our Story
There were 3 things that inspired me to create Audivi:
First of all, my mother had loads of great stories from across her lifetime. We heard many of them again and again but I know that won’t always be the case. As her memory fades, so will the stories. Someday, the memories will be forgotten – for her and for us.
In addition, I saw my wedding video and was struck by my father’s voice. I realized it was the only place that we had a recording of him speaking. Even though we could hardly see him in the film, it didn’t matter. Hearing his voice transported me back to him.
Finally, I wondered how best to take care of old family memorabilia: a letter from her father when she was young, a 1947 ticket for passage to Europe, old portraits of her great-great grandparents, and so much more. These items, tucked away in a desk drawer, are likely to be lost over time and are certainly under-appreciated now.
And so I decided to put them all together: my mother’s voice telling her stories combined with beautiful old photos. A great listening experience that would keep us connected to her past and would keep the memories accessible to all of us. Some families create a recording of their loved one or have an album but by putting everything on-line, Audivi would make the information accessible to the entire family.
Then, something unexpected happened. I played the memories for my mother who had dementia and saw how listening to the memories gave her joy. Memory loss had robbed her of short-term memory, but her long-term memories provided grounding, comfort and connection.
We hope you will start saving memories for your loved while you can. For them and for you.
