AI companion for people with dementia
At the press of a button, VRENI tells familiar stories, plays meaningful music, and creates moments of calm. No screen. No app. Just there.
Relief in Everyday Care
An agitation episode lasts 15–30 minutes and drains everyone involved
For care staff, dementia means demanding situations and unpredictable challenges every day. These consume valuable time that is needed elsewhere.
VRENI's goal is to make daily care easier with concrete solutions by reducing the risk of agitation.
To do this, we use evidence-based methods with proven effectiveness. Familiar voices and short stories for vivid memories.

Our Vision
VRENI will become the most trusted companion in the lives of people with dementia. A device that listens, learns, and creates moments of connection through familiar stories, music, and voices. For those affected: more orientation and independence. For care teams: less agitation, more time. For families: the certainty that their loved one is being heard.
Personalized
Content from real life histories. Familiar references, no new interaction logic. What is known is used.
Adaptiver Reminiszenz-Sweetspot
Our AI learns which music and which topics trigger especially positive reactions in a person and adapts accordingly.
Grounded in Research
We measure what works and build accordingly. VRENI addresses all three levels: prevention, daily support, and relief.
What You Should Know
Is VRENI a medical device?
No. VRENI is a wellness device. It requires no regulatory approval and does not constitute a medical intervention. It can be used immediately and without regulatory effort.
What happens after the pilot test?
We evaluate the results together. If the pilot is convincing, we offer continued development and of course future use on request.
Wir werten die Ergebnisse gemeinsam aus. Falls der Pilot überzeugt, bieten wir auf Wunsch eine gemeinsame Weiterentwicklung und selbstverständlich auch eine künftige Nutzung an.
How secure is my data with VRENI?
VRENI processes all data in accordance with Swiss data protection law (nDSG). Patient data does not leave your institution uncontrolled — it is securely encrypted during transmission and deleted immediately after the session.
Who is VRENI suitable for?
VRENI is suitable for people with mild to moderate dementia who respond to auditory stimuli. Together we record the effect of the content in an observation form.
How much effort does it require from our care team?
30 minutes of onboarding, then it runs on its own. The observation form takes 3–5 minutes per session and enables constructive interaction with residents.
What does the pilot test cost?
The 1-week pilot test is completely free. We deliver the device, content, and form directly to you. The results help us develop VRENI further scientifically and slow the progression of dementia.
