Cogimetry, engagement and tracking in Voiced Memories

What is Cogimetry?

The engagement and reflection 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 reflects how they engage, the words, the timing, the willingness to share, 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 reflects how a person engages 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, form a personal rhythm over time. Cogimetry reflects that rhythm back to the person and the people they choose to share it with, creating a richer picture over time than any single moment 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.
