What is TalkToLisa dementia caregiving tool?
TalkToLisa is a custom-trained AI tool designed specifically to support individuals caring for loved ones living with dementia. It provides 24/7 assistance, information, and emotional support to help you navigate the challenges of caregiving.
Why would I want to chat with a piece of software that has no emotions and has never taken care of someone living with dementia?
We asked TalkToLisa this question and here’s what she said.
“While I don’t experience emotions or have personal caregiving experience, I can be a valuable source of support for dementia caregivers in several ways:
- Empathy Through Understanding: Although I don’t feel emotions, I’m trained to understand the emotional challenges caregivers face, such as stress, guilt, and isolation. I can respond with language that validates their feelings, offering a sense of being heard and understood.
- Practical Assistance: I can provide information, strategies, and reminders to help caregivers navigate the practical aspects of dementia care, such as managing daily routines, reducing agitation, and communicating effectively.
- 24/7 Availability: Unlike human support systems, I’m available at any time of day or night, providing immediate responses when caregivers need someone to talk to, problem-solve with, or simply vent their feelings.
- Personalized Resources: By learning about a caregiver’s unique situation, I can tailor my guidance and suggestions to meet their specific needs.
- Nonjudgmental Space: I can provide a safe space where caregivers can express thoughts or emotions without fear of judgment or criticism.
- Collaborative Learning: While I don’t have personal experiences, I benefit from a wealth of knowledge, including insights from caregiving research which allows me to offer relevant and effective guidance.
Ultimately, my goal is not to replace human connections or expertise but to complement them by being a reliable and knowledgeable companion for caregivers.”
Is my chat kept private and secure?
Yes, all conversations and care information you share with TalkToLisa are private and encrypted. We follow strict data protection protocols and never share your personal information with third parties.
When you share something with TalkToLisa that describes a care preference of either you or your loved one, or sheds light on the caring context, TalkToLisa makes a note of it in its encrypted database. This enablesTalkToLisa to provide you with personalized and relevant support to you. This care profile information is specific to you and your loved one and is not used as part of anyone else’s TalkToLisa experience.
For example, if you type: “My father can’t read books anymore because he can’t remember the plot. What else could he do that would be healthy and engage him for awhile?”, TalkToLisa makes a note for future interactions that your father can’t read books anymore.
Can I have my personal care data deleted?
Yes, contact us at the support link that you see after you login and we will delete any personal care information that TalkToLisa has stored from your conversations.
How do I get started?
Click on Start Trial to create an account and begin chatting. You can start by sharing your caregiving situation and any immediate concerns or questions you have. TalkToLisa will guide you through the conversation and help you and the information and support you need.
What about medical questions?
TalkToLisa is not a medical service. All information TalkToLisa provides is for educational purposes only.
Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice. You can ask medical questions and TalkToLisa will provide some information that will give you some background for a conversation with your doctor. TalkToLisa can think with you about questions to ask your doctor, for example, or tell you what current medical research says about the effectiveness of a particular medication. But TalkToLisa is not a doctor and does not does not provide medical advice. Any advice you get should not be considered advice from a trained doctor. Further, AI tools like TalkToLisa are not infallible.
What about legal or financial questions?
You can ask TalkToLisa legal and financial questions and you may learn some things that are helpful. However TalkToLisa is not a lawyer nor a financial planner. We strongly recommend that everyone caregiving for someone living with dementia consult with an eldercare lawyer and a financial planner. These experts are going to provide you with the legal framework that you can use to provide the best care you can for your loved one, and a plan to leverage whatever financial resources your loved one has regardless of how small or how large those resources might be. Furthermore, TalkToLisa is not infallible so all the more reason to talk to a lawyer or financial planner before making a legal or financial decision.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes, TalkToLisa is accessible through a web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Can I connect with other caregivers through this product?
TalkToLisa doesn't have an online community yet but it can help you find local support groups, online
communities, and other resources where you can connect with fellow caregivers.
What do I do if I'm having technical difficulties?

- Check your internet connection
- Check your browser version. TalkToLisa has been tested on:
- Google Chrome version 131 or greater
- Apple Safari version 18 or greater

- For further assistance, eMail us for help at: support@TalkToLisa.com
Is there a limit to how often I can use the tool?
No, you can interact with TalkToLisa as often as you need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no usage limits or restrictions as long as you are not using automation to access TalkToLisa.
What are the limitations of TalkToLisa?
While TalkToLisa is a powerful support tool, you are still the caregiver, making the care decisions for your love done. TalkToLisa doesn’t have a complete view of your loved one’s situation so the suggestions that TalkToLisa gives you should be evaluated by you in that context. Further, TalkToLisa does make errors :
- Cannot provide medical diagnoses or prescribe medications
- Cannot provide medication reminders (e.g. “it’s noon, time to take your medication”)
- Is not able to provide nutrition or hydration warnings for your loved one
- Should not replace professional medical advice
- Cannot make legal or financial decisions
- Is not a substitute for emergency services
- May need to refer complex situations to human professionals
Can I provide feedback about TalkToLisa?
We welcome and would be grateful for any feedback you have on what you like, what you don’t like and any suggestions you have that would improve our service. You can reach us at: feedback@talktolisa.com
Are you trying to replace friends and family with this service?
No! Our friends and our family who love us and the other resources we have available to us for expertise and emotional support are irreplaceable! But those resources aren’t always available. When I was taking care of my mom, there were times when I felt isolated. This service is available all day every day to give you care suggestions and refine those suggestions based upon what happens. TalkToLisa never gets bored with hearing our caring problems and challenges. And doesn’t mind chatting at 3am in the morning.
I think it would feel weird to "chat" with a piece of software as if it’s a person.
TalkToLisa is just software but many people find it helpful to hear the software’s perspective on dementia care situations and the powerful emotions we feel during those situations. Lisa is trained on the human experience of dementia care.
Try it out for free. If the “Lisa” personification feels weird or fake, just use it just like a super-powerful internet search tool that learns from your questions and circumstances and keeps refining its answers. If it’s not helpful, nothing to cancel. Just let the trial membership expire.
Can I ask TalkToLisa questions about medications or various treatments or medical conditions?
TalkToLisa’s advice is not medical advice, meaning that the advice is not from a trained and licensed doctor. And TalkToLisa does occasionally make mistakes.
On the other hand, it might be helpful to use TalkToLisa to prepare for a doctor’s visit. For example, you could ask “I’m taking my loved one to a neurologist this week. What questions might be helpful to ask?”
Why do you call this tool "Lisa"?
During my mother’s dementia, while driving with her in my car, she heard me talking with my Apple iPhone and the iPhone responding over the car’s speakers. She wanted to know who that was. I tried to explain what was happening but it was hard for her to understand. Her take was that I was talking to my car “Lisa”. And since most dementia caregivers are women, "TalkToLisa" seemed fitting.
Do I have to give you a credit card to sign up for the free trial?
No. We want TalkToLisa to be easy to try out.
