CareGrove — AI-powered memory care for everyday life IMPORTANT — Medical disclaimer CareGrove is a wellness and caregiving companion app. It is not a medical device and does not provide a diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or any other condition. The memory exercises, mood and sleep logs, medication reminders, and AI-generated summaries are for informational and educational purposes only and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed physician or other qualified health professional. Do not start, stop, or change any medication based on this app. If you have questions about symptoms, memory changes, or treatment, talk to your doctor. In an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number). For mental health crisis support in the U.S., call or text 988. CareGrove is a gentle, easy-to-use mobile companion for adults living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or anyone who simply wants to stay mentally sharp — and for the family members and caregivers who support them. With short daily exercises, smart reminders, and AI-powered insights, CareGrove turns small daily check-ins into a clearer picture of cognitive wellness over time. What you can do Cognitive Check — Short, guided memory activities to track patterns over time (not a clinical test or diagnosis). Wellness Log — Log mood, sleep, and daily notes; optional AI summaries to spot trends. Medication — Schedule reminders and record taken or missed doses. Safety — Emergency contacts and quick access to crisis resources (e.g. 911, 988 in the U.S.). AI Weekly Digest — A plain-language summary for caregivers based on your logged activity. Health Information & Sources — In-app citations and links to trusted organizations (e.g. Alzheimer’s Association, NIH, CDC, WHO, Mayo Clinic, SAMHSA 988 Lifeline). Who it’s for Older adults, people concerned about memory, and caregivers who want simple tools to stay organized and informed — without replacing professional medical care. Privacy & AI AI features summarize information you enter in the app. They are not reviewed by a clinician before display. Always confirm health-related decisions with a qualified professional.
