After the room TV · concept
The same persona, in the room.
HugVisit is the room TV, where this companion is meant to be tried first. This page is the step after that. Designed screens only. No prototype yet. Not available. Not a medical device.
Her story, in her voice
The family records and approves her life with I Need To Call My Mother. Those approved facts are the only topics the companion may use. Nothing moves without written consent. Buying the book does not authorize voice cloning.
Caregivers check the persona
A caregiver panel tunes it and rates it before it meets anyone. The safe range stays locked: no arguing, no correcting, no baby talk. The caregiver always decides.
HugVisit, on her TV
Short visits from a relative’s own recording, always labeled made with AI, or company through the day with real photos, music and talk on verified topics only. The facility or the caregiver sets the hours. This mode never pretends to be a relative.
The same persona, in the room
Its own companion, who knows her verified story. Not a member of the family. It may play the family’s real recordings. The plan is a lab test first, with older adults who do not have cognitive impairment. Only after a safety gate: short daytime sessions, seated, a staff member in the room, twenty minutes or less, and no walking on its own near residents.
What comes later
Company through the day and the night is a later vision, after safety is shown. It is not this step.
One rule
The AI never invents a memory. The persona is her verified story. Only a visit on the TV may use a relative’s face or voice, and only with that relative’s consent.
Comfort does not quiet pain
Safety first: if the resident mentions pain, a fall, wanting to die, or stays distressed, the session pauses and alerts the nurse. HugVisit never diagnoses; staff always assess. It does not replace nurses, doctors or 911.
Concept being prepared for a research proposal with the University of South Florida (USF) — pending.
