Celeste Lee expressed interest in integrating the geo-fencing and voice recording features into her company, The Key's family app, while also discussing the "beautiful questions" approach for dementia care. Details - Introduction of Grandma Says App Kate Arney-Cimino introduced her app, "Grandma Says," designed for families visiting loved ones in facilities or at home. She explained that the app facilitates family communication, shares information, and includes a patented geo-fencing feature that alerts family members when someone visits the designated area and if no visits have occurred in a set period, aiming to combat loneliness . Kate also mentioned a diary aspect with open-ended questions to trigger older memories, and a health notes section to share updates, both of which can trigger alerts - Patent and Business Model Discussion Kate Arney-Cimino explained that the geo-fencing technology within her app is patented and could potentially be integrated into existing applications or acquired by a company as a defensive patent She noted that the patent has about eight or nine years remaining and is solely owned by her, with an estimated value of around $75,000, which she finds challenging to monetize . Celeste Lee inquired about selling the patent or redeveloping the app, to which Kate responded that financial and time constraints currently prevent her from redeveloping the app herself. - Facility Objections and App Features Kate Arney-Cimino shared that some facilities, such as Sunrise Assisted Living, had concerns about the app's photo-sharing feature, viewing it as a potential liability for broadcasting negative aspects of the facility . However, Kate views the app as a tool for peace of mind, especially for home healthcare scenarios, by providing real-time visit notifications and health updates . Celeste Lee noted that her company, The Key, already has a family app with health notes and is particularly interested in integrating the geo-fencing feature and potentially the voice recording diary aspect . - Dementia Care and "Beautiful Questions" Celeste Lee, whose company specializes in dementia care, discussed the limitations of the app's open-ended questions for individuals with cognitive impairments. She explained that her company uses a different approach called "beautiful questions" and a program called "time slips" for people with dementia, which works better than questions that require direct memory recall . - Fut
