Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, famously said: “You won’t lose your job to AI, but you will lose it to someone who uses AI.”
That’s a hopeful line if you’re in corporate America. A rallying cry for the inbox-weary. But when you’re staring down an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the calculus shifts. The hard truth is this: once Alzheimer’s is in the picture, you will lose your memory. No pep talk changes that.
And yet — the second tragedy isn’t memory loss. It’s what happens when fear of technology convinces families to slam the doors shut. Travelers are told they can’t cook, can’t drive, can’t walk alone. Supporters are told the only safe option is to lock, restrict, and monitor. That’s not living. That’s waiting.
The irony? The very tools people fear — the “AI” everyone thinks is too complicated or too cold — can be the difference between a life locked down and a life still lived.
At MiM, we don’t ask Travelers to master technology. We design it so they don’t even feel the gears turning. Structure is invisible. Dignity is visible. Routines show up like a familiar friend, not another app to learn. Supporters stop feeling like jailers and start feeling like guides.
AI in an app isn’t about replacing humanity. It’s about giving Travelers and those surrounding them the chance to live and breathe easier.
Fear of tech is the same story whether you’re closing a deal or caring for a loved one. In real estate, clients don’t need to know how the algorithms work — they just need to trust their broker is using them in their favor. In Alzheimer’s, Travelers don’t need to “embrace AI” — they just need to know their mornings, their memories, and their agency aren’t lost before the disease takes them.
AI won’t take your memory. Alzheimer’s will. But if we do this right, AI can give you back the one thing Alzheimer’s steals fastest: the confidence to live today.
