Caring for someone with memory loss?Join the SecondYou Pilot Program.
Getting 10, 20, or 30 calls a day for reassurance while you try to work, sleep, or get through your day? The SecondYou Pilot Program is a carefully run, early-phase test of a new AI service for caregivers of people with dementia. If you are accepted and later consent, SecondYou can speak with your loved one in a voice built from your own: your inflections, phrasing, and style, so they hear a familiar, reassuring voice when you cannot be there. We are opening this small pilot, currently offered at no cost, and looking for a few families to help test the system under close observation for the defined pilot period.
Real time back
That can give you real time back to work, rest, sleep, and be present with your spouse and children.
Close observation
Pilot calls go through a monitoring process that includes AI systems and review by trained team members. SecondYou is not an emergency monitoring system.
About twenty families
Because only 20 families take part, each one gets close, individual attention.
Free during the pilot and for five years afterward.
No credit card or participation fee is required to apply or take part in the current pilot.
For families enrolled in the pilot, the service is free during the pilot. After the pilot ends, the service stays free to you for five years.
Any feature included in that service that we later charge other families for stays free to you for that period. You helped us build it, so you keep it.
The five-year free-access offer applies as long as the service is commercially available. See the important pilot terms for details.
You set the boundaries. You approve the topics, tone, and material before anything reaches your loved one, and you can pause or stop your participation at any time without any penalty.
What the pilot asks of you
Participation is guided and hands-on, not a five-minute setup. It includes informed consent, onboarding, one to two weeks of natural phone calls for voice recording, a detailed conversation about your loved one and their routines, review and approval of the trained voice, initial calls with you listening along, and ongoing feedback.
Every pilot call goes through the pilot's monitoring process, which includes AI systems and review by trained team members. SecondYou is not an emergency monitoring system, does not continuously monitor your loved one, and does not replace emergency or personal-safety monitoring. A team member remains available throughout the pilot to guide you and help with setup, calls, feedback, and technical problems. During onboarding, we explain how to reach the team.
If we encounter an exception, difficulty, or unusual situation, we may pause or adjust the service while we work with you to resolve it; that can take additional time and participation from you.
Not sure whether this is for you? Apply and our staff will answer your questions and provide more information about the pilot.

About this application
This form is for a small pilot for twenty caregivers of people with dementia, recruited with the Ellen Samson organization. The caregiver completes this application and participates in screening, consent, setup, and feedback. "Loved one" means the person you care for.
This is screening only. Submitting does not enroll you or guarantee acceptance. Selection is solely at the discretion of ProxiCare PBC. Nothing starts unless you are accepted and then read, ask questions about, and sign an informed consent agreement. Any voice recording happens only after that.
Your privacy. What you share stays inside the screening and pilot review process. Your name and contact details stay with the recruiting organization until you are accepted. Until then, reviewers see an application ID instead of your name, a "blinded application number." Submit once. After you submit, we show your next steps and your application number.
