Our Story
There were 3 things that inspired me to create Audivi:
First of all, my mother has loads of great stories from across her lifetime. We hear many of them again and again – and can cite some of them verbatim – but I know that won’t always be the case. As her memory fades, so will the stories. Someday, they will be forgotten – for her and for us.
In addition, I saw my wedding video and was struck by my father’s voice. I realized it was the only place that we had a recording of him speaking. Even though we could hardly see him in the film, it didn’t matter. Hearing his voice transported me back to him.
Finally, I wondered how best to take care of my mother’s memorabilia: a letter from her father when she was young, a 1947 ticket for passage to Europe, old portraits of her great-great grandparents, and so much more. These items, tucked away in my mother’s desk drawer, are likely to be lost over time and are certainly under-appreciated even now.
And so I decided to put them all together: my mother’s voice telling her stories combined with the beautiful old photos. A great listening experience that would keep us connected to her and her past.
Then, something unexpected happened. I played the memories for my mother who has short-term memory loss and saw that experiencing the memories gave her great joy. It enabled her to revisit and re-experience her favorite memories again and again. In an increasingly confusing day-to-day reality, her memories help her feel grounded and connected. Keeping memories accessible to those losing their memories seemed so obvious.
Audivi has now created a memory banking app to make it easy and affordable for everyone to capture memories and keep that critical lifeline to the past alive. We hope you will join us in creating memory banks for all!
