“Good morning,
Margaret.”
It's 3 AM. She wakes up confused, in the dark. Then she reaches for her glasses, and a calm voice greets her by name and suggests a sip of water. The fear passes.
Faces remembered. Connections preserved.
Smart glasses designed for memory care. They watch quietly for the people a caregiver has added, and show a name the moment it's needed.
See who's there. Always.
Passive Recognition
The glasses quietly scan for familiar faces. No buttons, no setup, no cloud. Recognition happens on-device in under two seconds.
Contextual Display
A gentle display shows the person's name, their relationship to the wearer, and a warm memory. Enough to restore confidence, nothing that overwhelms.
Voice Companion
A calm, familiar voice through the glasses offers spoken context, gentle reminders, and daily orientation. Warm, patient, always there.
Recognition, live.
Vela quietly recognizing a familiar face, showing their name and how you know them, right when it matters.
Nearly 7 million Americans 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's. Most will eventually struggle to recognize the people they love.
Dementia takes away the most fundamental human experience: knowing who is in the room. The fear and confusion that follow are profound.

“When it isn't sure, it stays quiet. It never puts the wrong name on a face.”
A Vela design principleBuilt by people who care.
The questions that matter most.
Where do the faces live?
On the glasses — nowhere else. Faces and names stay on-device. They never touch a cloud, never leave the frames, and never train anyone else's system.
How hard is it to set up?
A caregiver adds the people who matter in the companion app — just a photo and a name. The person wearing Vela does nothing at all.
What if it doesn't recognize someone?
Vela only ever shows people a caregiver has added. It never guesses at strangers, and when it isn't sure, it stays quiet — so it never puts the wrong name on a face.
