Support after brain injury, built around a day that isn’t flat
Capacity after a brain injury changes hour to hour. Luka Bear is an assistive companion device paired with a Caregiver App — holding routine, repeating without impatience, and keeping family and the care team connected from anywhere, on the schedule the person actually has rather than the one their best hour suggests.
The thing that gets misread
Someone can be sharp at ten in the morning and unable to follow a sentence by four. Same person, same day, same task. Families and staff read the afternoon as not trying — as inconsistency, or selective effort. It is fatigue, and it is the most misread part of brain injury recovery. Assessments happen in the morning; plans get built from that hour; by mid-afternoon the plan is asking for capacity that no longer exists, and the person is recorded as non-compliant.
Routines that hold when memory doesn’t
Scheduled prompts for medication, appointments and daily steps, spoken aloud at the right time. A reminder that doesn’t get tired, and doesn’t depend on the person remembering to check a note.
The same answer, the fortieth time
Luka answers a repeated question in the same tone every time. No sigh, no shortening, no audible patience running out — which is what turns a repeated question into an argument.
A familiar voice, not a synthetic one
Voice Cloning™ lets Luka speak in a voice the person already knows. Where recordings exist from before the injury, that can include their own.
Family at a distance
Photos, video messages and speak-through let relatives stay part of the day without travelling — useful during long rehabilitation, and during transitional living placements away from home.
When the words will not come
Talk for Me puts the phrases that come up most on the screen as large tiles — one tap and Luka says it aloud, in a voice the household knows. Word-finding is often hardest late in the day, when speaking has become expensive; this is there for those hours and ignored on the good ones. Phrases are stored on the device, so they keep working when the internet drops. The tiles speak aloud only; they don’t send an alert. On the touchscreen.
Rehabilitation programs, case managers & transitional living
Brain injury waivers and rehabilitation programs increasingly recognise assistive technology, remote supports and enabling technology as ways to extend independence and use staff time better. Luka’s routine support and remote-presence capabilities are designed to map to those functional categories. The families who adjust fastest seem to be the ones told early that fatigue is physiological, not motivational — and documentation that reflects real capacity across the day is what makes that visible.
What it looks like day to day
The demanding things sit early, while there is capacity to spend. Rest is scheduled before it’s needed rather than offered after someone has hit the wall. Luka carries the reminders, answers the repeated questions in the same steady tone, and gives family a way to be present from a distance. A case manager or family member can look in through the Caregiver App, speak through Luka, and take a phone call from Luka if the person asks it for help while it is in Active mode. Access is private and invitation-only, with admin-PIN controls suited to settings with rotating staff.

Stay in touch — safely
After a brain injury or stroke, small things like finding the phone or remembering a call can get in the way. Messages are read aloud, replies are spoken, reminders can be set by voice — “Remind me to call Louisa at three” — and calls wait for a clear “yes”.
