A Story of Care: Beyond Monitoring
Currently, over 55 million people globally live with dementia, with a new case diagnosed every 3 seconds. By 2050, this number is projected to reach 139 million. Behind each case stands a family facing the same challenge as Cybelle.
The Market Reality
"When our mother was diagnosed with cognitive decline, we realized we weren't alone. Millions of families face this impossible balance between careers, personal lives, and providing 24/7 care."
The Care Crisis by Numbers
The Technology Gap Current solutions are inadequate:
The Challenge: Constant Vigilance vs. Quality Time
The family faced several critical challenges:
24/7 Monitoring Needs
Required constant attention to multiple camera feeds
Needed real-time understanding of behavior changes
Information Overload
Too much raw data from various monitoring systems
Difficulty identifying meaningful patterns
Family Connection
Time spent monitoring meant less time for meaningful interaction
Constant worry affected quality of visits
The Solution: SOME-1 Care Worker
The family deployed SOME-1's CareWorker to transform their care approach. Here's how it changed their experience:
A Real Scenario: Nighttime Activity at 2 AM
Immediate Detection CareWorker noticed unusual movement patterns
Pattern Recognition
Compared behavior against known routines
Identified potential confusion about time
Gentle Intervention
Initiated calming conversation
Guided back to normal routine
Family Updates
Sent contextual summary to family
Logged pattern for care planning
The Results: Transforming Family Care CareWorker's implementation delivered profound benefits:
Peace of Mind
24/7 intelligent monitoring
Proactive issue prevention
Better Understanding
Detailed pattern recognition
Early detection of changes
Enhanced Family Time
More focus on meaningful interaction
Less stress during visits
Improved Care Quality
Consistent monitoring
Personalized responses
Cybelle's Vision for AI Care
"We should be spending our time playing cards with her, singing songs with her. We should be daughters, not caregivers trying to follow everything that's happening. SOME-1 gives us the tools to help her through this while letting us focus on what matters—being family."
She emphasizes the transformative impact:
"Having someone who can actually take a look at all those cameras, synthesize the information, and tell us what's important—that's not just technology, that's giving us our relationship back."
The Market Opportunity SOME-1's CareWorker addresses:
$475B cognitive care market
$150B care coordination market
$89B remote monitoring market
$52B care management market
As aging populations grow globally, these markets expand 18% annually.
"This isn't just about one family's solution. We're looking at transforming a half-trillion dollar market while giving millions of families their lives back."
