Our Story: A Mission of Heart and Technology
Hello, I’m Gaétan Brousseau, an artificial intelligence engineer and founder of DialogNGo.
May I share my story with you?
It all began with an event that changed my life. My aunt, who suffered from dementia, passed away, leaving an empty space. Shortly afterward, my father experienced a stroke, profoundly affecting his ability to speak and his independence. These trials led me to take on a role that many know but few truly understand: that of a caregiver.
Being there for a loved one, day after day, is both a mission filled with love and an immense emotional burden. I came to understand how crucial it is to support those experiencing neurocognitive disorders and their caregivers. But with the demands of daily life—work, family, studies—how can one always find the time to be present, to listen, to speak, to encourage?
Faced with this dilemma, an idea began to take shape. What if technology could become an ally, an extension of our presence, to offer support and comfort when we can’t be there?
A Vision Driven by Science and Humanity
With a multidisciplinary team, we delved into the mysteries of the human brain, particularly regarding cognitive decline. Our research led us to a universal truth: socializing and communicating are essential to slowing cognitive decline. Yet isolation remains a formidable enemy for patients, often exacerbated by the limited availability of caregivers.
This is how Olivia was born—a compassionate and empathetic virtual companion designed to stimulate the mind, encourage socialization, and support vulnerable individuals in their daily lives.
Who Is Olivia?
Olivia is not just artificial intelligence. She is a gentle and understanding life companion who engages without judgment and acts as a bridge between individuals and their aspirations.
What Olivia Does :
- Slows cognitive decline: By stimulating memory and cognitive functions, Olivia helps maintain mental sharpness.
- Supports neurocognitive disorders: Stroke recovery, memory loss, or speech impairments? Olivia adapts to provide an engaging and stimulating environment.
- Helps learn or relearn to speak: Through interactive and progressive dialogues, she assists with language rehabilitation.
- Breaks isolation: She fosters warm and meaningful conversations.
- Encourages mobility and socialization: With gentle reminders to move, go out, and interact.
- Prevents falls: By offering practical, personalized advice.
- Revives precious memories: Texts, photos, anecdotes—she rekindles memories to strengthen emotional bonds.
- Soothes the mind: With her compassionate approach, Olivia helps reduce stress and anxiety.
How Does Olivia Work?
Olivia is the result of years of research and innovation, combining:
- A synthetic brain inspired by the principles of the human brain.
- Generative intelligence and neural networks to understand and anticipate user needs.
- Active listening and behavioral approaches developed with the help of psychologists.
She is more than just a technological tool; she is a companion who listens, learns, and motivates. Olivia’s operation is rooted in a deep understanding of conversational dynamics, emotion, and context, creating a smooth and natural interaction.
A Mission with Strong Values
We do not claim to replace caregivers but to offer them invaluable respite and complementary support. Olivia focuses on prevention and assistance, aiming to improve the quality of life for patients and their loved ones.
We are driven by a firm belief: technology, when imbued with compassion, can be a powerful tool to lighten burdens and strengthen human connections.
