Who it's for
For hospice and palliative care teams
Legacy work is part of good end-of-life care and most teams have no tool for it beyond a volunteer with a notebook. This gives patients a way to tell their story by voice, in minutes, under their own control, and leaves families with the recordings and, if they want it, a book.
What makes it work
Built for exactly this.
Patient-controlled
Consent, sealing, audience and pace are the patient's. Staff can offer it; nobody can push it.
Low burden on staff
Nothing to set up at the bedside beyond a phone. Family can run it from home.
