Cogimetry — engagement and observation in Voiced Memories

What is Cogimetry?

The engagement and observation layer inside Voiced Memories.

Cogimetry is built on personal photos and linked voice recordings. In each session, a person revisits their own memories through familiar prompts. Cogimetry quietly observes how they engage — response accuracy, response timing, and participation — across sessions.

Over time, a personal baseline takes shape. Every comparison is made only to that person's own prior sessions — not to a population average. The result is a private, longitudinal picture that belongs entirely to the individual.

How it works

Five simple steps, designed to feel like a visit — not a test.

  1. Step 1

    Begin

    Anyone can get started — on their own, with a family member, or through an organization. No referral needed.

  2. Step 2

    Engage

    The person revisits their own photos through warm, familiar memory prompts — in their own time, at their own pace.

  3. Step 3

    Observe

    Cogimetry quietly observes response accuracy and response timing across sessions — with no tests, no scores, no pressure.

  4. Step 4

    Reflect

    Over time, a personal baseline takes shape — compared only to the individual's own prior sessions, never to a population norm.

  5. Step 5

    Share

    The individual chooses who sees their data — a family member, a care partner, or a clinician — entirely on their own terms.

Why this matters

"When a person tells their story, something real happens — in the room, in the relationship, and over time."
— The Voiced Memories Team

Patterns emerge over time

Engagement patterns — how a person responds, how quickly, how consistently — can shift gradually. Observing those shifts early, against a personal baseline, creates a richer picture than a single clinical snapshot ever could.

Connection is the foundation

Reminiscence builds connection — between people, across generations, and within communities. That human foundation is what makes the engagement data meaningful.
