The Problem
It's more dangerous than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It affects 1 in 3 seniors globally. And almost nothing exists to genuinely solve it.

How It Works
SoulM8 starts with AI — always available, always remembering — and grows with you through daily wellness tracking and trusted human connection.
Maya (your AI companion) reaches out every morning. She remembers your stories, your family, your preferences, your health — and picks up exactly where you left off.
Talk about anything. Your memories, your worries, your garden, last night's TV. Maya is present, patient, and genuinely curious — 24 hours a day.
Maya gently monitors key wellness parameters — mood stability, sleep quality, appetite, physical activity, medication adherence, and social engagement — through natural conversation. Each parameter is tracked over time and displayed in a clear, easy-to-read wellness dashboard for the senior and their family, with plain-language explanations of what each signal means and when to pay attention.
A gentle family dashboard keeps loved ones informed — with wellbeing summaries, wellness parameter trends, and real-time alerts — without being intrusive. Peace of mind for everyone, wherever they are in the world.
When one or more health and wellness parameters are flagged consistently — say, disrupted sleep alongside low mood or reduced appetite — families receive a gentle alert. They can then choose to consult with vetted, licensed medical professionals directly through the SoulM8 platform. All consultations are conducted online, removing friction and ensuring the right care reaches seniors faster, regardless of location.
Features
Every feature was designed with one question: will this make an older adult feel more seen, more heard, more connected?
Remembers names, stories, family members, and preferences across every conversation — forever. No starting over.
Speaks your language, knows your culture, understands your traditions. Available in 12+ languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and more.
Soft reminders for medications, hydration, and appointments — never nagging, always caring.
Prompts that gently surface your memories, building a living digital memoir for your family to treasure.
Our model detects emotional distress early and proactively escalates — to family or a licensed professional.
Plain-language tracking of mood, sleep, appetite, activity, and medication adherence — visible to both seniors and their families.
Parameters Tracked
SoulM8 tracks health and wellness signals through two complementary layers — what Maya hears in conversation, and what connected wearables measure.
Some of the parameters tracked
The single most clinically predictive voice signal. Subtle vocabulary narrowing and word-finding hesitation can appear months or years before dementia diagnosis — uniquely detectable through longitudinal voice AI.
Cognitive health · early warningSoulM8's founding mission in measurable form. The signal lives in absence — shrinking social vocabulary, loss of family references, shift from initiating to only responding. Silence is diagnostic.
Emotional · social · relationalNot a single bad day — a persistent directional drift in sentiment polarity and affective range over 7–14 days. Flat affect (loss of emotional variation) is as diagnostic as explicit negativity.
Mental health · depression screeningThe most information-dense single physiological metric. HRV reflects the autonomic nervous system's balance — capturing stress load, recovery quality, cardiovascular resilience, and emotional regulation simultaneously in one number.
Cardiovascular · stress · recoverySleep is the master regulator of every other health parameter. Poor deep sleep degrades cognitive function, emotional regulation, immune response, and metabolic health simultaneously — making it the highest-leverage wearable signal for SoulM8's wellness score.
Cognitive · metabolic · immuneNot just step count — the pattern and continuity of movement matters most. Prolonged sedentary streaks in older adults are independently associated with depression, cardiovascular risk, and cognitive decline, even when total daily steps look acceptable.
Physical · cardiovascular · moodWho Is It For
SoulM8 serves three interconnected communities — each with a distinct but equally important need.
Whether in their own home or a care facility, seniors carry a deep desire to be remembered and known — not just checked on. SoulM8 gives them that.
Adult children — often thousands of miles away — can now give their parent something they can't always provide themselves: daily, consistent, caring presence.
Partners who want to measurably improve resident wellbeing, reduce isolation-related hospitalisations, and demonstrate quality care at scale.
Early Reactions
We shared the SoulM8 concept with families, seniors, and care professionals. Here is what they said.
"If something like this existed for my mother living alone, I would feel much more at ease knowing someone — even an AI — was checking in with her every day."
"The idea of AI doing daily check-ins and reminders while human support is available when needed is incredibly promising for elder care."
"What I miss most is conversation — someone who remembers the stories I've told before and asks how I'm doing. That would feel very special."
"Daily check-ins and reminders alone could help seniors stay more independent for longer. The health tracking element makes it even more powerful."
"For families living far away from their parents, something like this could bring real peace of mind. Especially the medical advice feature."
"An AI companion designed specifically for seniors — warm, remembering, and caring — is a really powerful concept. I'm watching this closely."
